moving rear end back

I did this exact thing on my '65 Valiant. I made my own shock plates because I didn't have any when I put in the 8 3/4. But yes you will need to move them back a like amount. Just drill a new hole int he shock plate. The shocks get real close to hitting the rearend when you move it back. So check and make sure they don't hit the housing if you do the move.
