Trying to get a rear end hung back under the coupe. Now I have the springs but no rear shackles or parts for up front. Basically everything bolt them back up!

  • Dave Kostansek has shackles 1937-54 $25 each. May have the bolts for front of spring. K-Gap has the bushings for the front of springs.

    I made front spring bolts for the truck out of hardware stuff.
  • I measured in between the front stationary perch and its exactly 2in. and the large hole is 1 and 1/4 inch.



    The rear shackle is a basically a large 4-inch c-shaped bracket that is threaded on the side that the spring is attached. I have one of those and need the other



    The eyelets on the leaf spring are 1 and 1/8 one one side and 7/8 on the other and the length from eyelet to eyelet unsprung is 57 inches





    Hudzilla was kind enough to sell me a set of rear shackles for the car, now all I need are the collared bolts for the front of the spring

    Straighten that lockwasher above and the OD will fit in the collar hole
