The bushes are 1.74" long.; the pins are 3.07' long.
I have looked on a couple of sites where the parts are listed, but none seem to give dimensions.
I am in Australia, so I need a supplier that post to here.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Here's a link to their item. 34-55 1/2 ton rear sping shacklesThey may ship to you. It's worth a call to them.

Locate the parts you are interested in on the drawing, then scroll through the next few pages to fine what all they fit. Looks like 1933 - 1954 1/2 tons all used the same shackles and pins.

I will post a picture of my pickup when it's all finished. | | |
