Broken part

I have a 55 F100 and while removing my rearend I broke one of the leaf spring hangers. Can I get one from the donar truck I'm taking the rear out of or do I need to find one just like the one that broke? I'm going to be putting in a 9" rear from a 70-71 f100.
Thanks

Hey ABN, I'm sure the part want fit, you can order them from Dennis Carpenter or Midfifty there are also vendors listed on this site that have them. It may be a good idea to replace both of the hangers, over the years they will get out of round where they pivot. Which BN are(were) you in?

You will definitely need to get a replacement hanger from a similar year truck. The ones on that 70 donor truck will be totally different.

Hey Jaye and 52 Merc. I appreciate all the help. I'll check the site and dennis carpenter for the parts.
Jaye, I was in the 2nd Batt, 75th Rngr Reg at Fort Lewis Washington back in 1981.
Thanks for the help.

Are you talking about a spring hanger bracket or the part the U-bolts go thru?
