During the last couple of days I have stripped out the rear springs from the truck , fitted new shackle kits and added a leaf to the overload springs.

The front hangers are worn oval so I now have the challange of machining the holes and making bushes to fit .

I would also like to find some (or just one) new bolt for the front spring hanger (rear leaves) . I am not sure if it is supposed to be the same as the rear hanger on the front spring , that is , a threaded pin with a threaded bushing .

What I have is a 3/4" bolt and smooth bush . I have made new bushes but the spring bolt is worn and not available here.

The joys of old truck ownership smile
