60 Series front shock mounts

[brendan rooke]

Hey all,

Got any ideas on front upper shock mounts for my 61.

Sprung over, just got my new spring packs the other day, EFS made me up a set of flexy packs with the grommets between each leaf.

I was lookin at my mates shorty 40 and liked the standard shock mounts on. Want to be able to get a longer shock and have more up travel.

Has anyone used Snake Racing shock hoops and if so what do you think of them?????

Cheers folk.

you could look into the F-truck ones, like they use on the 40's

Hey Brendan, you still about Ulmarra I see!

I'd use shock hoops or the F truck style ones. Ive got some old ones on an 80s chassis in the paddock if they are any good to ya.

Cheers,
Troy. R.

Hey all, sorry i havnt been online for a few days, ive been a bit under the weather.

I got dog shot from behind leaving work on saturday night and had my head used as a soccer ball.

Whats the world comin to, 3 guys about 20 year old. You wouldnt think they needed to hit me from behind. But thats how they fight these days 3 on 1 apparently. What ever happened to good old 1 on 1 and shake hands at the end. Problem solved. All i can say is Dogs fight in packs and what goes around comes around.

Anyways back to the subject, i havnt seen the F-truck mounts, ill have a look at them. Havnt had much to do with f trucks.
What model truck or are they the same, obviously leaf sprung front

Thanks guys.

Pictures of F-Truck Mount, definetly the way to go for a more stock look.




Installed on my 40.





Next to a standard 40 series mount.




Nobody sells/imports these into australia.

cracka_d off this forum imported a heap a few years ago, and I got mine through him. I think he did have 1 last pair left, so you could try PM'ing him to see. If not, ring a ford dealer in USA and ask for the part no. shown in my first pic, they should charge you around $13US ea. Heres a larger link to it.

Thanks Twisty.

They look the goods mate

I know ill have to cut the inner guard a bit to be able to fit something like that, not that thats a problem.

Hows ya truck going, any new mods

[TWISTY]

No worries.

Nothing much has been happening to the 40 for a while now, any spare $$ have been going into the lux. Hopefully the first half of next year see's a lot of progress on the 40 but.

Yeah i hear ya.

Its hard when you have a new toy to play with.

I have a v8 calais in the shed and the old cruiser got neglected for a while.

Got a bit excited this year and sprung the old girl over and put a new 3 inch exhaust and bought some 10 inch rims and 37s. That was my hard earnt gone for the year

Now its sitting in the back yard with a blown auto, so im all keen again to finish it off, cant drive it might aswell finish it!!
