  C&G (800/266-0470) has the tube shock kits. For '48, the rear kit is 11A-18125-KIT, $212.95 My '47 has tube shocks, front and back. The my rears use upper mounts that clamp on the cross member.

  You will notice that the top mounts in the picture Old Henry sent mount through the rear crossmember. I don't know what year model you are going to install them on, but I don't think they are a direct fit for earlier model cross members. I put a set on my '38 and had to lengthen the part the goes through the crossmember by about 3/4". Various suppliers have the type that just bolts the the front flange of he crossmember.
