Okay, I realize this is probably a good way to prove my ignorance, but the spring pack lower plates on my '56 Ford Fairlane need the shock hole welded up and re-drilled. I can't believe they would be made of cast iron, since they are put under a load so often, but I want to make sure before I ruin them for good. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
