Upper Rear Coil retainer bracket

Good Evening
I am trying to find a set of Upper Rear Coil retainer brackets for my 68. These are the brackets that are riveted to to the cross member and helps hold the coil in place. Does anybody have an old frame they could take them off of and sell me. Please let me know. If you have any pictures that woul be great too.
Thanks
Jeff

There is a wtb section you may be more successful in, plus classifieds are for premium membership, it i well worth the 25.00.

Try going to the LMC truck catalog, page 63, item 26. This should help you find what you need. If you don't see what you need in the diagram it may be an aftermarket item.

The spring retainers are available but what he asked was for the spring perch which is riveted to the frame and is commonly rusted. I happen to have a set sitting in the building.

Not a problem, if yiur frame has not been torn down I am sure they are still there.
