I used a kit from Pickups Northwest:
http://www.pickupsnw.com
It comes with upper and lower brackets and a template to show where to
drill the holes.  The only problem that I had was that the shocks that
they supply were too long to use with my mono springs.

I've got a 49 3100 which has the lever action shocks, and I want to
replace them with Gas ones.  Does any know of a way to do this.  On the
back I am going to put in a late model rear end and use a kit from No
Limit.  But my Question is on the Front.  If anyone has converted their
lever action shocks to gas I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks,
Wade Benton
