I know some say I need a lot of help. ( ha ha )
I am doing two different sets of 37 rear shocks
1st set to go on a 37 1/2 ton pickup.
2nd set to go on a pannel delivery.
What I need to know is the shock arm # of each.
And or if it is not readable the measurement from center of the shock shaft to center of where the link mounts.

THANKS for any Info that you can provide it will help to keep this Hobby running " SMOOTH "

( get it smooth / shocks ) I have to give me a LOL on that one.

Please either post here or email me @ [email protected]

Does the 37 p/Up have mounting points? On my 35 I bought the Pete&Jakes kit and we welded on the adjustable mount to the diff. Front was bolt on.

--in the 1945 version of the 28-37 parts book there is no difference between models --pass or truck ---and they updated it to 01A-18080-A ---and 81 for r,and l --

I remember seeing a chart of arm #--but I don't know where exactly ---have you searched the V8 times index?

You do not mention if these are 85 or 60HP. Oh well for the 85 HP both are model 77. My Chassis parts book list both as having rear shocks 68-18080 RH, 68-18081 LH. using link 48-18055-A, 3" with long threads for nut and lock washer.
The 37 restoration book list 68-18080 has an arm, pressed onto the shock shaft, of 7 1/4" C/L to C/L.
