Re: Rear shocks

No need to order a relocation kit, just swap the lower shock mounts side to side, use front-fitment shocks, and the upper shock stud that comes with new front shocks. Drill the frame rail to mount the upper stud.

Here's a link to the post that explains it better:

I did this on my '66 with coil springs and it rode and drove great! The shocks can control the body motion much better with them outboard of the frame and standing straight up.
