That's great many thanks Richard, looks quite similar to mine. I can see now how it should be. The po has fitted shocks that use 1/2" bolts in the lower eye. He got round this by welding a 1/2" bolt into the spacer & put a 16mm thread in the other end. I didn't find this out until the weld failed partly due to touch much of the weld being machined away. I was driving round a slight bend at about 30mph when I felt 1 side of the truck drop.

No damage at all?

Chevy-49 your four link and shock bolts appear short? or is it just the picture. I've always believed thread engagement should be at least the depth of the nut?

It's the angle of photo, there's a good 3/4" of thread past the nyloc.

Yes you are right seems to be too short, I did not tighten the nuts and bolts (Nylon Insert Lock Nuts)

For now is just a rolling chassis.

I will remove the axle for paint etc.

Thanks that you noticed it.....

Are any of these 3600's? From what I remember of trying to nail down a 4 link for my 3/4 ton, they weren't interchangeable with 1/2 tons.
