68 F250 Highboy Spring Stop bracket


Does anyone know where I could get new of these brackets? They are where the bump stops mount. Frame is great, but these are rusted out. Not really sure what they are called, and I guess the purpose is to just reinforce the frame when overloaded?

I can't see the pic, but are you talking about the bracket above the rear axle? If so that is actually part of the bump stop. You can just fabricate a new one.

I was able to view it, not a normal jpeg file, screen jift. The bracket is part of the frame, riveted on. You would need to remove the rivets to start with, whether you find factory or not. I would replace it with some heavy angle iron if you can't find the reinforcing brackets.

Got them off. They are pretty thin so will probably have to make something custom from a piece of angle.

Good luck, but that does seems to be what is required now.
