Have been looking all over, so far unable to locate any pin mount (threaded) by pin mount chrome or stainless front shocks. I have found some regular painted ones, but no shiny. Loop by loop, plenty out there, but can't find pin x pin. Speedway, Pete & Jake, FleaBay, etc no gotee. Never mind how I ended up this way, that's what I need. Any help appreciated. TIA
figure out how you ended up there, look for stuff for cars that use those shocks as original equipment. Or redesign your mounts.
If I had any idea what car used them I would follow that. Its a mix of '46 Studebaker coupe with boxed frame and '37 Willys axle.
Well, after checking with a couple of the biggest shock vendors, I had no luck. Will just be going with plain painted shocks. It might have been possible to use adapters to shocks with a loop on one end, but that would put me looking for a very, very short travel shock. I did find a number of pin x pin options, but almost all too long, or wrong spec...and none chromed. Thanks anyway.
The only chrome shocks other than the "roadster shocks" I have ever seen were on lowriders. A lot of those guys don't really care of the shocks actually work as shocks though. Meaning that they may have had someone chrome them not caring if they worked after they were done as long as they were shiny. QA 1 makes a shiny rear shock for 65 mustangs but they are spendy QA1 TS601 Mustang Rear Shock Single Adjustable 1965-1973 (cjponyparts.com)
