8 3/4 rear spring shock plates/brackets.....................
« on: April 09, 2013 - 09:57:13 AM »
I put super stock springs in my 70 Bee over the weekend, but unfortunately had to re-use the traction bars  :puke:  as they take the place of the original shock brackets.
 
 
There's a few sets on ebay, but figured I'd ask here as well

From what I understand, this is what is in the ads, so it looks like they're the same for most.....

"This is a set of factory leaf spring holddown pads (shock plates) for almost any 67-72 B Body (road runner,Charger etc), 67-74 A body(Duster Dart Demon 67-69 Barracuda) or 71-74 E body (Challenger Cuda) with an 8 3/4 or Dana 60 rear. They are the same on everything but 70 Challenger and Cuda (which had a lower height shock absorber) and they will work on those cars also if you don't mind raising the car back to 71-74 E body specs (as the factory did after 1970)

This is the plate that the U-bolts go through and the lower shock absorber bolts to. It holds the rearend housing in place."

Anyone who has a set, please let me know.
Thanks  :thumbsup:

They sell nice ones at Firm Feel...  better than stock....  if your not planning OEM.  The stock ones shock mounts tend to strip.

Thank you for the info lemooreace  :thumbsup: , but I'm just looking for a used set at the moment, as I am trying to save my pennies to take my nephew to the Mopar National in Ohio this year.

PM sent  :thumbsup:

Over on moparts in the parts for sale section there is a set for $65 shipped which is very fair. It also include the u bolts and nuts. They are for sale by Tom the owner of moparts.
