Shock mount location on the ho52??
Hi all, Since my truck is sitting across the country and I am looking for
a replacement rear axle for my ho52... does anybody know the shock mount locations on my 72 chevy 3/4 ton ho52? Are they both aft or 1 shock front and 1 shock aft? Also, what dana 60 axles will bolt right in? I am guessing a pre73 gmc 3/4 ton dana60 will bolt right in. Are there any others that are a direct bolt-in Ford? post 73 chevy dana 60 etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated Chris

Re: Shock mount location on the ho52??
Both shocks will on the forward side of the HO52. You can slide a 14 bolt from a single rear wheel 1 ton right in place with just a conversion u-joint and modification to one shock mount. A pre73 Dana 60 will definitely have correct spring mount locations.

Carefull, some pre '73 D60's have 42" wide spring perch spacing. The '70 GMC C20 I have has the wider spacing leaf axle.

Re: Shock mount location on the ho52??
Hey gang, I just wanted to clarify that this is a 72 4x4 with an ho52 rear axle.
It sounds and looks like the shocks are both forward of the axle? Thanks again
