Re: 68 gmc front spring hanger question
Hate to say it but that fuel filter housing looks like a Ford part. Good filter though.

Re: 68 gmc front spring hanger question
You know I think your right. I have one of those out of an old UPS truck that was a GMC. I think the filter is a spin on type rather than a cartridge type like the Fords.

Re: 68 gmc front spring hanger question
As far as the front spring hanger I'm not sure. The 67's were closed knuckle axles I beleive as well as the 68 3/4 tons. I'm not sure if the spring hangers were different as well. I just got a 72 3/4 Sub 4x4 to steal the spring hangers for my 70 Longhorn that I want to convert to 4 wheel drive.

Re: 68 gmc front spring hanger question
Are your springs 3" wide at the front mount and rear shackle? 67/68 leaf springs are 3" at each end and then taper to 2.5 at the center where they mount at the axle.
