Re: shock mounting hardware
You'll need arms and links. All probably available on such as Ebay, etc. The vendors also should have them.

Re: shock mounting hardware
Yes, a limited run. If you want them, get on his list.
Mshmodela. You also need special bolts and nuts, available from the vendors |

Re: shock mounting hardware
Brattons lists the special bolts, washers and nut set on page 109 .Part number24930 price $8.50 . This set bolts all four shocks to the frame. They also have the shock arms and links on page. 109 and 110 . I would recommend using new shock arms rather than used shock arms . If the balls are worn on the shock arms, the original style links will fall off and be lost. If the balls are worn on the front spring perches and rear axle housings , You will be safer using the later style dog bone links. The dog bone links was Fords better idea and was used from 32 through 48. These links used rubber balls that covered the metal link balls. If a dog bone link comes off on one end, the other end will still hold and the link won't be lost. With the original tube style link, if one end slips off of a worn ball, spring tension is lost and that is why the link falls off.

Re: shock mounting hardware
Metal to metal contact wears quickly. Ford changed both the shock links and radius rod ball setup in 32 through 48. The rubber ball covers have to be replaced in time but rubber to metal doesn't wear the metal balls and was a better idea.

Re: shock mounting hardware
I ordered a set of the shocks too. I'm looking at ordering the bolts from Roy Nacewicz
PDF catalog: http://www.fordscript.com/ford_bolts...ogs/modelA.pdf I'm hoping this is what we need: R-84-13-A Special “D” shaped, fine thread shock absorber bolts, $ 12.95/pkg nuts, locks in original S-2 finish. 1928-31 (12 pcs/pkg)
