1966 Chevy II Front Shocks

AveryMcLawhorn · 04-11-2024, 11:38 AM

Hi All,

What are people doing to get adjustable shocks on the front of a 1966 Chevy II? Is there an adapter kit made for the lower spring perch to change the type of shock mount? The Chevy II has two stud mounts that goes through the center of the spring on control arm in the spring perch. I am not finding many of any options for adjustable shocks that fit the factory mounting style.

Thanks
Avery

Get you a set of these. Then you will have more shock options. I run Afco's on mine.

I used to put regular T bottom shocks on my Chevy II's
Two 5/16" bolts up from the bottom, with double fender washers, and a check nut. Now you have two studs sticking up . ;-)
