So crawled under the 79 tonight happen to see the rear leaf spring hanger driver side behind the rear is well let's just sat one or two good pot holes from snapping or rusting off. I see that it's pressed on? Not bolted

My questions is there a FTE sponsor that has these. Or a cheap place lol
Also how do I reinstall? Weld? Or drill and bolt?

 

Check out Dorman products...torch/grind the rivet heads off. Punch out the rest. Grade 8 bolt the new one back on.

 

Dorman didn't have any listed

 

Give me a few......

 

Says for a Bronco I see no visual difference, maybe there is? pt # Product ID: BTB769MBW Application: (1978-1979) Bronco Full Size

1973/97 F250 rear of rear spring bracket-frame mounted / Rear shackle & bushing kit

The rear spring bracket (hanger) is available from Ford.

This is the bracket that is riveted to the frame rail (rear of rear spring), is notorious for rusting out.

After serial # Y20,001: This is the cut-off serial number for High Boys. This bracket is not correct for High Boys.

This same rear spring bracket also fits some F150's & F350's.

UPDATE INFO.....

Some (most) dealer parts personnel are klewless, because when they look the number up in the 1973/79 truck parts catalog, it shows D8TZ5775B.

When they type that number into the system, it comes up empty.

What they are unaware of is, Ford updated D8TZ5775B in 1980 to EOTZ5775C.

This is a good part number: Guaranteed.

All your local dealer has to do is look up D8TZ5775B in their Obsolete-Supercede-Interchange Catalog (as I did)...then the pinheads can see for themselves!

 

Yup, there is no difference between the two of them. They are the same hanger that was used for both vehicles. When installing do everything that was said before. Grind off the head of the rivet and then pop the hanger off. Make sure you grind the remaining part of the rivet flush with the frame. If you don't and you try to smack them out, there is a good chance you will mushroom them and you will have a miserable time getting them out.

Clean up the holes once the rivets are out and replace with Grade 8 Bolts. I'll send you a PM with some pricing for a hanger and new Grade 8 bolts, washers and nuts. Are you looking for just one side or both?

I'll second buying them from ATS. I received my complete rear set up, front of rear and rear of rear hangers. The parts are well made and even came with all fasteners needed to install! Great customer service too!

 

Info in post 5 is...at least...three years old. I'm only updating the info inre to the rear spring-REAR hanger bracket.

Not all its applications are listed, the prices have changed, FTEpartsguy.com no longer exists.

So the one from the 1980 bronco will bolt up? Cause I actually have a buddy who has them if not ATS is the way to go. Thank you everyone

 

ND, I figured if I thru something up in the air you would be there to fix it before it hit the ground. Thank you, as always.

 

1978/96 Bronco same.
