The shock stud will not work for upper mount on crossmember because it is boxed and you cannot get in there to put a nut on it you need to make it like the Ford parts book shows that goes all the way through the cross member and nut is fasten from back side. The cross member is drilled on both sides for this purpose. There use to be an after market kit that used special shaped U bolts to fasten a stud bracket to C member but that was back in the 60s .
