K.I.S.S.

I have been going back and forth on how to build my truck for a long time. I have decided to K.I.S.S. this project and build it like Ford did.

(Keep It Simple Stupid)
I found one of my rear front spring hangers. Still need to find the other one and both front front spring hangers. This truck has been apart for too long.
the engine and transmission will not be original but most everything else will be.

Thanks for the info ND
I have the shackle brackets but I am missing the part that is riveted to the frame that the shackle brackets go through.

Notice in the pic...the part at the front that has 3 holes in a triangular pattern that doesn't have a basic part number, it's missing. I had to look at another pic to find it.

B7C-5338-A .. Front Spring FRONT Bracket / Obsolete

1957/60 F100/250 2WD // No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any NOS, none on ebay.

The only part shown at the rear is basic part number 5340 that I listed.

Thanks for looking that up. I was afraid that would be the case I have a donor frame if I can’t find the ones I took off but not looking forward to drilling out the rivets
