8 3/4 shock plates

[braptor52]

looking for a pair of shock plates for an 8 3/4. let me know what you have or if you got any solutions for what vehicle i could steal them from at a wrecking yard. thanks

They are the same on virtually every 8 1/4 and 8 3/4 car (A/B/C Body) from the early 60's to 72 when some bodies went to isolated suspension with a large rubber bushing in the center of the plate.
I think they even used the same plates on 9 1/4 and the Dana 60. Only the small 7 1/4 rear was different.

In 1970 the new E bodies used a special lower stance spring plate for one year only, then THEY also went to the standard spring plate through 74.

Hope this helps.

I also have a set on ebay.

Thank you!
I got some out of a 50's Chrysler at the junkyard with an 8 3/4 in it so I'm hoping they'll fit right.

I've never gone back that far but if they're on an 8 3/4 they should fit.

well they fit!

except one issue... im using them for my 9" swap. and my backing plates are hitting the shock plate where the dimples for the parking brake cable go in. so im gunna shave a lil off the shock plates an see if that works
