CPP Deluxe Track bar on a 60-62 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone installed a CPP 1960-62 deluxe track bar on their truck and be able to use the factory shock mounting points at the rear of the trailing arm?

Here is what I am dealing with. CPP had no answer and said they never ran into this issue.

I would say that you will need to move the lower shock bracket back. Drill a hole in the lower CPP bracket for the rear hole in the shock bracket and drill a new hole in the shock bracket for the rear leg of the u-bolt. Having the shocks more vertical is better anyway.

i just modified the bottom of the CPP bracket to clear the shock body on mine.

Im having both shock brackets extended so they match.

After no guidance from CPP, we extended the lower shock mounts.

Seems to have solved the issue and put the shocks at a better angle.
