All of the holes are in good shape and simply needs new bushings. What I am wondering about is how to address the wear marks on the inside sides of the shackles and the hangers that are riveted to the frame? Looks like round wear grooves. See attached pictures. Do I simply dress smooth and add a shim? Truck is a 1954 GMC 1 Ton. Thanks all http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah168/TcolemanC/Mobile%20Uploads/20150802_205018_zpsmphbvuul.jpg

If you want to make it look nice, you can grind the washer down to the shape of the hanger. We weren't concerned about looks, just getting her fixed. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 22 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 22 | Sorry for the late reply. Been working out of town. Keep forgetting its cast steel not cast iron so welding on these parts does not come first to my mind.
Thanks for the suggestion.
