Drop hangers for 1970 GMC C2500.
I am having trouble finding a drop leaf spring hanger for my 1970 3/4 ton pickup. It has the HD rear leaf springs. They are the same 2.25 inches wide as the standard & C10 springs. There must be at least 5 different manufacturers making drop hangers for the 73-87 trucks. Does nobody make a version for the narrower leaf 67-72? (I am looking for a 4" drop in the rear, and do not want to notch the frame.) I have drop shackles and a set of "pancake" bump stops. The cab and bed are off of the frame. Does any one know where to get the drop hangers that I need?

Crown suspension:
http://www.crownsuspension.com/lower....25-wide-leaf/ DJM at Speedway motors (I have a DJM flip kit on back of my '69. ECE front setup) https://www.speedwaymotors.com/DJM-S...op,351294.html Summit has Classic Performance shackles: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/c...up?prefilter=1 There are others as well. Western Chassis, McGaugheys, CPP I think all make shackles as well.

Re: Drop hangers for 1970 GMC C2500.
Thanks Blue Boy. That looks like what I need. Ordered a set today. I don't know why they chose to call them C10 hangers (C10 trucks have coils in the rear.) I think they could sell a few more, if they knew what to call them.

GMC trucks had more than Chevrolet,... but you could get them in both.
