Agree with the info John provided.
In fact I’ve put the shock plates side by side (60 dodge and both b / e-body) for comparison and they look identical. |

Location: WHEELING,WV.>>>HOME OF WWVA | well ,,, i can tell you this. with six leaf springs to travel is too short to meet tire removal easily (225/70/15) . and the bottom pin is off by guessing
5 to 10* , probably closer to 5 . so the reality is i'll be fabbing my own shock plates of 3/8 cold rolled steel with max extension with both wheels off , rear just hangin free . oh , and as off now the shock travel @1 1/2" too short , depending where the rear shackles are set ---------------------later |
