Converting 47 Coupe to tube shocks

[mrtexas]

Would a 48 axle substitute for a 41 axle? Same width?

I had the fun of drilling my'47 axle on the car for my shocks. I think I either found the lower bolts here or eBay. I wonder if these will work:

My setup and the lower studs you need.

'48 axle is altogether different than a '41 axle. Wider in both kingpin and perch bolt centers.

Thanks for the link, 1oldtimer. I checked it out and they have them for the 48-52 F100 pickup. But would that be the same as the 48 Coupe?

If nobody chimes in it might be worth a call to find out how long the part is that goes through the axle is and the diameter of the stud. Mid Fifty has really nice people working there and will give you an answer.

On a different side note the late '47 has a flat spot where the stud would go, early '47 and '46 just have the recessed area ('48 has a hole).
