68 C10 Front Shock Support Bracket
 

Hello,
I am new to the forum. I just picked up a 68 Custom C10 longbed. Over the weekend I lowered it (3-5) using components from Brothers. Today I received my back ordered Panhard Bar and Shock Support Brackets. Has anyone used these brackets? I have spent a half an hour trying to convince myself to use them. Just not liking it. The original mounting holes look great (Not torn). Your thoughts would be appreciated.
