Friction Shocks!!!!!

Looks good the only thing I question is if it will be to heavy for them to do any good.

that linkage acts as a shock? how?

Same way the old fords did.

freakin' awesome!

I think the sheer weight of a modern vehicle will wear those out pretty quickly. You'll typically only see them now on a T-bucket style front setup, as there isn't a whole lot weight there. They just aren't designed to dampen alot of weight...probably why they haven't been used since the 1940's

Yes it is a design from the 30s and not as efficent as a modern shock....but more efficent then the traditonal friction shock...as far as holding the weight i can adjust them to hold the truck up so yes they will handle the weight...why...they fit the theme of the truck...

True..I suppose you're not using the oringinal style leather disks..lmao. Let us know how it rides..I'm pretty interested to see how well they dampen.

ayy, where troy at ????
