Re: 1966 Stock 4x4 chassis

Some pics. Kinda crappy though.

1st pic is of the front axle original front spring hanger before I cut it out. Cast iron with the grease pins. Don't mind the second leaf spring in the pic. It was there for comparison.

2nd is of the front shock and at what appears to be the top of the shock boot you can see the bump stop bracket hanging off of the side of the frame with the slot in it. The rubber bumper would attach to that slot.

3rd pic is of the shock absorber mounting. The rear shocks on my '63 run more or less parallel to the frame and slant forward. They attach to brackets on the frame with a 3/4" bolt that runs all the way through the bracket and the frame. The lower shock mounts were originally on the 12 bolt that it came with. I cut those off and welded them on the Dana 60 that was in it for a while then cut and relocated the lower shock mounts that were on the 14 bolt to match the location of the originals.

Hope this helps.
