Exactly why I asked this question. As a COPO tribute, of course we all would expect the items that that package had on an original car ( disc fronts and multi leafs out back). But if we are emulating a race car of the era...well, my research showed the same as you speak of , drums, monos. And that is what precipitated this question. And yes, shackles were for squirrels. But it has been so long since seeing them on a hot rod street car, I think I want them in this build. BITD, all the Fords had shackles ‘cause the springs went bad on most of them. Guys would have the shackles at different heights from one side to the other just to get the car level. Fortunately, GM cars only had shackles to raise the car.
