Recommended Posts

I will be posting pictures as we go(being restored by my high school auto shop class I'm teaching).

right now I need help figuring out where to get or what you guys thing would be best to replace the leaf spring bolts. Both the front and the rear bolts were seized in the bushings and we were able to get them out but they were damaged/pretty nasty once removed. Is there anywhere that sells replacements or best bet to try and find one that got them out without damage?

The rear shackle? Only used on the 720 4x4 after '82 but also on the '78 and '79 620 truck. 

 

The front pin is used only on the 720 and the D21 Hardbody 2wd all years.

 

 

These are not just nuts and bolts but specific parts

I just saw this with a quick search for rear shackle they look similar to some of the ones people have made on here to get lift out of the shackle (don't really care for the lift aspect but kinda neat) but I'm more interested if they would still work. What do you think?
