Ford Econoline Van(3rd Generation) shock absorber locations?

[crowe-t]

Does anyone have pictures of a 3rd generation Ford Econoline's chassis that shows the location of the shock absorbers?

Or a picture of the chassis(built) of an AMT or MPC Ford Econoline van will help.   

I'm building an AMT Phantom Ford Econoline and the instructions are not that good in pinpointing the location of the shocks..

Hope this helps.

Hey thanks!

Are the front shocks attached on the outside of the control arms or whatever they are called? 

Are the rear shocks attached right on the mounting blocks on the rear end or on the insides?  

It's hard to tell in the picture.

There should be a couple holes in the chassis crossmember for the rear shocks to mount to. The axle end mounts to the inside of the tabs on the axle tube.

The front shocks mount to the outside of the trailing arms.

With the angle of the trailing arms the front shocks don't see to reach.  I'll have to take another look.

Where do the rear shocks mount on the axle?  On top of the tabs or on the inside?

Thanks for the pictures.  It looks like you have the front shocks mounted to the inside of the trailing arms.
