1978 F250 Front spring help!!

My F250 has been sitting for 5-6 years and I recently decided to restore it. As I checked it over I realized the passenger side spring u-bolts are gone and the upper plate and the cast iron saddle under the axle. Guess someone needed it???
Can anyone help me locate repacements for these parts?
Thank You, Randy

Might try the bronco graveyard, I'm sure they would have what you need. BTW where did you have it parked for someone to get that stuff off without being heard? Just curious.

Thanks hookedup for the suggestion. I sent 2 emails to broncograveyard and Mark emialed me that they have none of the parts I need:

1) Left rear shock mount
2) Left and right rear spring hangers and shackles.
3) Right front shock mount.
4) Front right (passenger) u-bolts and upper and lower plates. These
are the plates that sit on top of spring and the cast iron saddle under
the axle (someone really needed mine as they are gone!!)

The truck was at a freinds house, stored. The parts may have been gone when I purchased it 5-6 years ago. I did not notice the front end parts were gone untill I deceided to have it towed home.

Again, Thanks for the help!

Screech, the part numbers for the hangers and shackles from broncograveyard are 23272 for the hangers, 23274 for the shackles and 23282 for the u-bolts.The other parts can probably be bought at a local salvage yard, or might try the Ford Dealer. Sorry I cant be of further help.

Try e-bay, or any dealer who sells suspension lifts.
