Notice on the original parts that the stub is welded on the face of the bracket - not in a drilled hole thru. Requires big welding equipment, probably resistance welded. Hard to see in the photo as I had them powder coated black.

That Chevy of the 40’s part is crap. BTW I don’t buy from them after they sent me a damaged part a few years ago and wouldn’t do anything about it. Bad guys for that.

The spring plates with shock ears are for a GM 3 inch axle housing on ’53 Chevy springs. My springs are actually Posies super slider springs. I bought the plates for $59 from the Truck Shop. Good guys never any problems.
