I picked these up at Luray confident they were the tall perches for a large drum axle. I believe those are straight up, not curved like these.
Who knows what I have and what they go to?

Ryan, they are for accessory rear shocks. Maybe Dreadnaughts, maybe something else.

Opps they are NOT large drum rear perches for Hassler shocks. This is

KW had similar perches for their accessory shock absorbers.

The standard perches for the large drum axles are shorter (not taller!) than the common earlier small drum axle perches.
These are for accessory shock absorbers as others have said. However, notice, that the bolt and perch directions are not correct for the large drum pancake Hasslers. So they are for one of the dozens of other shock absorbers made and sold for model Ts back in the day.
Actually might be a good find. I don't know about now? But it used to be common to find the shock mechanisms missing these mounting perches. Someone may be looking for those?
Interesting? While I was typing? The photo I was referencing disappeared?

I started thinking about that the shackle hole & bolt where facing in opposite directions (telepathic event?) so I deleted the photo and posted the Hassler

I'm sure its for these coiled spring shocks

Frank B,
And I just thought I was going crazy!
I knew I saw the photo, then after I posted my comments, the photo was gone!
No worries. Besides, I needed the laugh today.

Fun stuff but i would suggest you think long and hard about using them on a car you drive. Think about what happens when they break. This is not ford vanadium steel. This kind of part has caused fatal accidents before. Perhaps they are better on display rather than on the road.
