Rear tube shock kit 41 Ford

[corvette8n]

While searching the Internet I found information on this kit to convert 41-48 Fords to tube shocks, is this a Ford kit or aftermarket?, do they still make them.

Ford starting using tube shocks in 48 on some models, maybe even late 47 .The green bock I have shows the parts they used.if you want a copy I will try to post it .

I think it is an aftermarket kit. The lower brackets look similar to the ones ford used when they went to tube shocks, but Ford used a bolt through the X-member for the top mount instead of the clamps that just grab the lips of the X-member.

You can buy similar lower brackets from Pure Hot Rods and most vendors sell a stud to mount on the top member. You will probably have to measure your installed height to get the shocks.

Thanks, I do have the green book on cd, I'll look into that.

If the rear cross member is boxed like the 46-48 you will need a upper mount that goes all the way through. I had a set machined locally, worked real well.
