I'm like the others. My 1967 Camaro and ChevyII had monoleafs with a pin welded on the bottom of the spring. I had access to a carbide drill bit and drilled both and installed a socket head cap screw through the spring. But, I also changed the housing perches at the same time to the early style-GM/Ford/MoPar perches. Is that okay in Stock?

My cars still had the factory perches that located from the lower shock plate with a rubber insulator between the housing and spring. I've always felt the pin needs to be on the housing side of the spring. But I was exposed to big truck spring issues as a teenager.
