Double shock ID ???

[NixBronco]

Trying to ID the suspension kit on my pos bronco I’m rebuilding. Anyone know who made this style double shock mount?

I'm going to say it's a Bubba's Welding Shop special.
I don't recall seeing that one from any of the venders in the past 35 years. Someone custom fabricated it a long time ago. Too dirty and crusty to really tell what they made it out of. Looks like some of it was cut with the blue tipped axe.

I was trying to see what the lower mount is attached to. Doesn't look like a normal radius arm

Pretty sure its a stock radius arm but now you have me second guessing. I’ll check later today and report back.

Either way everything is coming off, frame is straight underneath the ugly. Except maybe a couple frame horn ends.

Thanks for replies, I’d never seen this setup before.

It’s hard to tell, but it does look kind of like a normal arm to me. Just with an extra plate welded on as a “tire rub“ plate.
Couple more pictures will tell the tail. Maybe even shoot one of the backside of the shock mount if you can.

I have seen shock mounts like that offered over-the-counter. But just as likely accustomed. I don’t really remember who offered them, and they were just a basic cut and weld job of the ones I’ve seen.

I think the lower shock mount is just a tab (likely welded) off the stock mount.
Dirt, rust, and a little out of focus make it hard to tell.

I’m going with Cleetus. That’s Bubba’s 4th cousin twice removed.

Ain't cleetus married to bubbas sister?

I went out to get more pics this evening. I obviously didn’t look close enough cause its straight from Bubba & Cleetus!

At least Cleetus uses a washer.

To hide the hole that was wallowed out.
