Where can I find all three front spring bushings and the pins/bolts that go with them for a 51 Chevy 1 ton panel. According to my spring shop in St. Louis they can’t get or don’t have the front ones that have the threads in them. So I might as well find a source for all three. Thanks in advance...,joe

the front spring bushings for a 3800 are the same part used on the rear suspension of the lighter trucks so many places have them but don't list compatibility, but if you know exactly what you are buying it will work because it's the same part based on the part numbers in the books.

Th reason I posted this is rock auto has this under half ton but says 3800 also and if you check out there price on theses it may be worth getting one to see if they are the same.

That’s the rear spring pin tho the fronts are all smaller different. FYI that rear bushing is very standard size Much cheaper to buy it as a generic bushing Only spend on the pin -s
Mine are a little different for the half ton but rock auto has theses for 12.50 mine were 10.00 which is a good price ,don’t know what the difference in others on the same site that are a lot more they also have the bushings and pins that screw into each other for a good price if anyone needs them

I’ll have to say, all those numbers confuse me just a bit. Can you show me just the part number four the shackles and the pens for the front leafspring so I make sure I have the correct ones...... thanks joe

- Front leaf spring front mount shackle kit, Moog K150240 or AC Delco 45G13044. These are the complete shackle kit that includes bushings, pins, shackle, rubber gaskets and nuts. This is the newer style that doesn’t require the center bolt.
- Front leaf spring rearward mount, AC Delco 45G17017. This includes the bushing, bolt, nut and washer.
These part numbers are on Rockauto. You will require two of each. If you want NOS, then you will have to sift through the part numbers above. I sent you a PM.

Any chance that the Delco 45G13044 would work as a rear spring rear shackle for a 1/2 ton? Looks pretty similar except for the lack of center bolt.

Shackles are different between front and rear springs. The differ in the length of the shackle (rear has longer side bars.) But I suppose you could use a front shackle on a rear spring. It would drop the rear of the truck by maybe 1/2" (WAG.) The bushings on 1/2 ton shackles are the threaded ones. The fixed mount to the frame (rear of front springs and front of rear springs) are the smooth bushing and bolt with grease fitting in the end.
