rear blocks 78 f250 4wd need help

Hello,

I have a 78 f250 4wd and I am missing the factory rear blocks. I am ordering new springs and require the 3 inch block for total height.

Rich, (77&79f20) has two different blocks.

Part # DOTA 5729-A , 2" 1/8 wide 4" 1/2 long and 3" tall.

part # D3TA 57298A??? 3"wide x 4 1/2 x 3" tall



The 3" wide block does not have a pin for the spring perch. Just two 9/16 holes. Can anyone confirm which block I need and/or which block they are using? If anyone has the block with two holes, what are you using to center the block on the perch? stud of some type?

I currently have 2 inch wide blocks and it just does not look right.

Thank you
CHris

the blocks on my 1ton d60 are 3" at spring, 2 1/8th at perch. I can't say if it has a pin or hole, it's together. I'll see if I can see the pin, if so I'll update.

** It has a pin coming up through the bottom, so the block has a hole, perch has the pin
