Those are Houdaille shocks - common on early Fords. They are hydraulic, not friction.

new bags installed, rear shocks/mounts finished up on the top, more bracing on the floor section of the body and we put the body back on for hopefully the last time.

Yikes! A real rat rod.[cl Looks like you can knock over brick walls with it. Nice work.

Haha thanks man! I truly love the "rat rod" idea of using different unique parts, no fancy paint, making it your own, not going by the book but I just can't bring myself to let us build something thats just unsafe and tossed together. I really want this to be a safe, well thought out reliable hot rod without the fancy paint and overdone chrome off the shelf bolt on parts. Its taking longer than I originally wanted but I am super happy with what it has become and now am extremely happy we didnt rush it!
 
Been slacking lately, sorry guys.
