Introducing myself - hi my name is Phil I am building aT bucket 350 Chevy drop tube front axle and vette irs. Be interested to speak to other T owners or anyone with similar interests. I have fitted friction shocks on the front but wondered without altering the chassis too much, how to fit gas shocks - has anyone done this without altering the chassis too much. It’s already painted! Could I use gas shocks laid horizontally. Cheers

Hi Phil, Welcome from the always warm and sunny Caribbean . . . . 
You could look into using the Spirit shock mounts as they are bolt on.
If you have lower mounts, or a place to put them in a similar location to where Spirit puts them in the batwings, then their shocks and mounts could be an easy upgrade.

Phil, you must have 10 posts before you can upload photos. Sometimes even with your 10 posts it may take the moderators a day or two give you permissions.
