Do u have more of these? Im new at this, have a couple of Questions. Do I need 2 per side and need to c-notch? And I dont see hole in installed brackets that I see in photo of them. Im going to start work on 78 C-15 swb. Gonna take some months but at 61 yrs Im finally going to have my HOT ROD. 383 is slowly being built by local machinist. (How do I post little pic of my truck under my name on left when I post thread. Cant find place when I go to edit. thanks, Kenny

**specialtyretail** · 11-25-2013, 08:59 AM

Hey Kenny. Welcome to the world of hot rod trucks. One set does both side. The hole goes towards the front and the axle sits in the saddle. Yes, we have eight sets left, probably all we will have til 2014. Thanks, Fred.

Will these work with a 9" housing ?

**specialtyretail** · 11-29-2013, 09:44 PM

I cannot say for sure. If you are using the same spring perches and the axle tubes are the same diameter, I would think they would. Thanks, Fred.

Could be wrong but I believe the 9" has a bigger tube diameter than the GM axle. Might be a issue with fitment.

**specialtyretail** · 12-04-2013, 12:13 PM

You may be right, I just don't know and cannot say for sure. I hate mis-representing stuff. Thanks, Fred.

I will measure the 10bolt housing and compare it to the 9"....

I cant say for sure but I'm pretty sure the chevelle 12 bolts are 3" tubes and the 9" housings use a 3.5" tube. Havent measured a truck 12 bolt tube. This is going from memory and I could be mistaken.

Are these still available? Would like a set.
Do you have the brackets for the rear shocks? If not where are people getting them from?
Thanks
