Default Tube shocks on a EFV8

I recently posted a response to the F.B. Forum regarding a question about rear suspension on a '46-48 Merc.
I have a '46-48 Merc rear end under my '36 so I posted a couple of pix of my rear suspension.
I received a PM this AM asking questions about how I attached the tube shocks to the upper cross member under my car. I responded to the PM with an answer to the questions.

Throughout the years that I have been on the Barn I have received many questions as to how I put a '42-48 Columbia under my '36, and how many modifications I had to do to get the wider rear end, 51-1/4" vs 53" to fit
under the car. My response has always been 'none', using a combination of various years of Ford parts, '36-37-39 & '42-48 it is a bolt-in installation.
I was going to attach pix of the rear and front shock mounts, however, I was unable to attach them at this time.
