L.M.C. Truck has them for $29.95 a piece. Also, National Parts Depot probably has some. Both places are on the net and you can also order a free catalog from both. Don't forget about shipping and handling, though.

I got mine here:
eBay Store - McVeigh's Truck Springs: Complete Springs for Cars, Spring Shackles, Add-A-Leaf Booster Kits

I got the rear spring hanger and shackle for a 3" wide leaf spring for about $50 shipped. Great quality stuff and bolted right up.

Make sure you measure the width of your spring, apparently there are 2.5 inch and 3 inch wide springs.

I have them as well. Rust free, I remove the frame rivets, nuts and bolts always look like new. Zero salt here

Just give me a shout and yes, they make a 3" wide spring and a 2-1/2" wide spring.

Also, welcome to the site!

Wish I would have thought of you before Mike, I wasn't aware that you salvaged these too.

Definitely get them from Mike, I just bought a front spring bucket from him for my 93, and it was a great transaction.

Mike, got around to degreasing that part today, and it looks brand new!
