My rear spring shackle and carrier on my 1966 F350 is all messed up from hitting a rock. Does anyone have one they could sell me? Either that or know where I can buy a new one?

 

Shackle is 5776, the carrier is?

 

That's the damaged rear hanger. Whoever put this on didn't even put it on right because of the damage. they just welded the top of the carrier to the frame goofy like and used a couple of bolts to also bolt it
. Scary thing is this is a 1 ton dump truck and if this thing fails it would be a disaster

 

The shackle is actually fine. It's the carrier that is banged up.

Can these things be heated with a torch to get it back to the original shape or does it weaken the metal too much?
I'd rather get a good replacement but I can't find a place to get one.

 

I posted the pic so you could tell me which part you are calling the carrier.

 

I can't see anything on your picture that looks like what I am calling the carrier. The part that has the 4 rivet holes and is riveted right to the frame.



The largest part in the middle of this picture is what I am calling the carrier

 

Shown as 5775 at upper left in pic (pic reposted below).

Is the 5775 shown in the picture you sent an accurate representation of what the part looks like? If so it doesn't look like the part that is riveted to my frame. My part looks exactly like the one that I sent in the picture that I posted.

 

5775 is the part you need, despite what it looks like.

The same pic is in the 1957/63 catalog, but the part number is different for 1957/60, different for 1961/63, different again for 1964/65, different again for 1966/79 (C6TZ-5775-H).

The C6TZ-5775-H part number was updated/replaced in 1980 by EOTZ-5775-D

LDS: By the power of the Holy Ghost (and the Ford truck parts catalog), ye may know the truth of all things.

 

Does this bracket also fit on F350 trucks made in the 80's? If so what years?

 

What I said...in post 7.

 

Ok, so now that I have the hanger off, (the largest part with the 4 bolt holes in it to bolt it to the frame) now I can see that the shackle is also damaged as well as the rubber insert. So basically the whole thing is shot. I called the dealer in Texas that you referred me to and told him I need the shackle (the other metal piece that hooks directly to the spring) as well as the guts of that shackle that have worn out. I told him one of those 4 digit numbers on your parts sheet you gave me but the dealer said that the 4 digit number was only a base number but he needed the whole number. If you could help me with those numbers I'd really appreciate it thanks!

 

I basically need the part numbers for everything shown in this picture

 

Part number for the shackle and the bushing?
