I’ve been looking for NOS parts to replace the front spring shackles on my 38. The leafs are 1-3/4”. I currently have a 3-3/8” long shackle on one side and a 4” long shackle on the other side so I don’t even know which is correct for the truck.
If I look in the parts book for a 1938 TD (Utility 1-1/2 ton), I find listed under 7.436 Shackle, Front Spring the following:
34-46 ALL COMM. AND UTILITY....495034
and also - 37-40 ALL ........603712
I assume that the 495034 is what I need, but I've seen the 603712 on Ebay. Will the 603712 also work since the book shows it for "37-40 ALL"?
I'm sure that some on this forum are experts on the old parts books. Any help would be appreciated.
