  2. The shock mounts are replacements for 1946-1948 Fords.

    Is the little logo a “KH”? Maybe Kelsey Hayes?

    They are after market tube shock lower mounts for the rear axle.

    As mentioned the ford parts they emulate are not the same side to side as to clear the pan hard bar.

    I took some pix of an aftermarket (Drake I think) rear shock set up with panard bar on my '41 pickup. Same frame as '40 car/pickup. upload_2025-6-24_13-41-20.jpeg upload_2025-6-24_13-41-20.jpeg
    I made the upper bracket so the shocks would pivot in parallel axis. the bottom piece bolts to the backing plate/axle using the stock holes with longer bolts. the top of the bracket includes a place to attach the panard bar; I'm pretty sure it came in a kit from Drake. I covered this install in my thread in the link below.

    Those are aftermarket upper shock mounts for the back of a 46-8

    You’re holding it upside down. The stud is on the bottom and faces towards the front of the car.

    the flange of the cross member goes into that little slot area.

    if the height of the A cross member is comparable to the 46 they should go right on I would assume
