I'm trying to find a set of front spring shackle brackets. (what attaches the leaf spring to the frame, just in case I'm not calling it out right) Does anyone have any advice?

 

Try Chassis Engineering. They make kits for rear springs, they might have front ones as well.

hi.
i also like macs antique auto, they have a great online catalog, good prices, great service

macsautoparts.com

thanks,

Looked at Macs... No good. What I'm needing is what is physically attached to the frame. One side is badly worn. The other side could work.

 

this may be tough to find as they are not a high demand item. if you can't locate one, find a parts truck to salvage one from. i suggest taking both sides, if possible. if that's not an option, a local fabrication shop could make some for you.

 

Try these guys:

Ford Leaf Spring Hangers | SD Truck Springs

Not a perfect match, but you may be able to get something to work...

Good luck!

 

I got exactly what you need from Chucks Trucks. He can find lots of NOS parts...

 

Didn't see what chucks trucks has that I was looking for. Thanks though.....

 

Try calling him, his catalog may not show all the parts. I had to replace the same piece you described and he found it for me...

 

here is the web site, there are several other chucks trucks on line. Chucks Trucks LLC., Ford Truck Parts and Restoration, Chuck's Trucks, Chucks Trucks

 

Thanks, Will give a call Monday.

 

would anyone happen to have a parts book telling what the part number would be for the shackles?

 

Good photo in the Dennis Carpenter catalog.
21C-5340 for the front REAR bracket
21C-5339 for the front FRONT LEFT bracket. I think the Right is 5338
His name is Chuck Mantiglia, very nice guy. Mine cost $35 this past fall and were NOS. Came with US Army green primer on them. Only other option is to take them off and have a machine shop drill it out and put an oversize sleeve in it. Good luck...

 

Thanks for your assistance, OregonJen... very helpful!!!

 

After much searching, I found a used set of the needed brackets from a nice guy at the fordbarn forum. Got all four brackets for $50.00. Should have in the mail today. Then I can get back to work. BTW... Thanks again OregonJen for the part numbers.
