I am talking about the rear cab mounting shackles (item 9.009 Chevy Master Parts Catalog). The shackle assy. has two pins with 7/16-20 threads, 2-7/8" long pressed fit (serrated at head). These pins can be easily tapped out. The bushings are included in any vendors cab mounting kit but I need to replace one of the pins as it is corroded and don't want to buy a complete shackle assembly. Has anyone ever replaced this pin and where can you find them. Last resort, guess a carriage bolt would work? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Year and size of your pickup truck? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2017 Posts: 23 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2017 Posts: 23 | I have a 52 chevy 3600.

The link provided a McMaster number. Thank you for providing that link. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2018 Posts: 111 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2018 Posts: 111 | Fancyt, the shackles are working just fine as per my other thread.
The press fit bolts might be available somewhere but for me 100% originality was not the end goal. The eyes would be harder to replicate so I simply made up the end plates which is easy enough.
Best of luck, | | | | | Joined: Jun 2018 Posts: 93 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2018 Posts: 93 | Where do you get replacement cab mount shackle bushings?
