73-80 Front Spring Hangers, Where to Buy?
I have scowered the internet in my free time for about the last 2 weeks trying to find some sort of aftermarket front spring hanger for 73-80 chevy trucks. I need the ones that incorporate the radiator support into it. I have found some that are for using the rear 52 inch springs but I was told by the manufacturer that they will not work with stock length springs. I'm putting a cummins in my truck and it has a 6 inch lift so I was wanting something a little beefier than stock. I have the 81 up style brackets on it now, but they just don't fit the frame quite right. Any ideas where I can find some thing like this?

I talked to Kert there at DIY4x earlier this week and those won't work with stock springs, and unfortunately they don't offer anything that will. I wish they did cause that is the quality of product that I am looking for.

Talk to Kurt, he can make you a set. I had a set of the B52 brackets for my old 89 crew that I made into a 4wd. I used aftermarket 4" springs, axle was a couple inches forward of stock.
