This may sound like a dumb question but I just want to make sure. Do the rear shocks on a '58 Ford Custom 300 mount in front of the rear axle or behind the rear axle???

Thanks for not making fun BigGrin

They will only fit one way, ahead of the axle.

Thanks. The rear end on this was lowered quite a bit so it just did'nt look right. I just wanted to make sure. BigGrin

This is an excerpt from the 49-59 Parts Catalogue.



If you don't have a copy of the books, there are copies everywhere of them on disk. I got a copy from Dan Jessup (a member on this site) and downloaded them in PDF form from Dave ( one of the moderators on the square bird forum).

A must have resource for working on our cars with exploded views of almost everything.

Thanks Rick, thats what I needed to see. All I have for books is the '58 Ford Service Manual which does'nt show exploded views and I always forget to take pics when I disassemble something. BigGrin
