rear shackles
I’m trying to restore my grandpa’s first pickup, 1963 ford f100 4 X 4 sidestep. The rear shackles quit taking grease about twenty years ago; mow the pins have worn all the way threw the shackles. I havn’t been able to find the rear shackles anywhere; I’ve tried LMC, NAPA, Carquest, Advance Auto Parts, Ford dealership, MAC’s, NPD, salvage yards in the area, and sadly much more. I was wondering if any of you guys know of a place that could help me out.

..see below.

..see below. Ford sold the shackles as part of a kit which includes the bushing(s) and attaching parts.
The same shackle kits were used on all 1957/64 F100's whether 2WD or 4WD.
Ford part numbers:
2) B7C5630A .. Rear Spring Shackle Kit ~ Front of Rear Spring.
2) B7TZ5630A .. Rear Spring Shackle Kit ~ Rear of Rear Spring.
Obsolete Ford parts dealer greensalescompany.com has both these kits in stock: 800-543-4959.

Can you do a little more checking.
I have run into two different types of rear shackles on 2 wheel drive trucks. One is a rounded unit for the lower rear perch attachment and the other a square headed unit.
I have a set of NOS square type on the 64 but the ones i have removed for unis are completly different in the way they are fabricated.
Possibly 2 different suppliers with the same part number?
The each use the same bushings.

): The 1957/63 & 1964/72 Ford truck parts catalogs showed the part numbers I listed above for 1957/64 F100's with either 2WD or 4WD. 1965/72 F100's with 2WD (only) use the same front & rear...rear spring shackle kits (B7C5630A & B7TZ5630A).
1965/72 F100's w/4WD use different kits.
