Anyone have the part # for the 250 shock towers? Or is there a better option?
 
I agree. Those current shock mounts are awesome! Dig the exhaust clamp on the shock! I'm watching the transformation for sure. Good work.
I used the ford shock towers on my silly piggy. Pleased with the results. The driver side I had to get tricky with due to the scout steering box being right where I need the shock tower to be. But it worked out.
 
The PS has a gm pump, I assume it is a Saginaw? But not positive, I have been to distracted by the fine custom cuts on the frame and shock towers to look to close.What the hell!
PabloCruise Thanks for the info!
 
I think I am going to run a fj60 box I searched but did not see anything on measurements for placement. Any one have measurements or a better alternative? I have read good things about the scout box but also here they are hard to find whereas a 60 box are really common and I have a 60 ps pump already mounted on the engine, so hoses and box is all I am lacking.
 
I have a 60 box on my pig, I can get you some measurements. What are you looking for? Length from the front of the frame to the box?

Scottryana,
Yes that would be great,end of frame to box, maybe engine side of front cross member to front of box. I want to install before motor and inner fenders go back on. A photo or 2 would be nice also if you had them but cool if not .Thanks! Sweet rig by the way!You have the 55 of dreams!
