1972 k10 rear of rear leaf spring hangers

[Rebo123]

Hello I am currently building a 72 k10 swb truck from nothing but parts. My frame is almost all together but I am missing both rear of rear spring hangers. Does anybody know where I can find them or can somebody give me some dimensions and I'll fab them up. Thanks in advance.

from Buffalo, NY. I know you can get them from LMC. Good luck with your build and welcome aboard. You'll find a lot of great information here and good people. This forum rocks!

I called lmc today and they said they don't carry spring hangers any more for my truck. I've google searched them and I get the same answer "we can't get them anymore".

Are you looking for these? P/N 34-0036?

No that's the shackle assembly. I need the spring hanger that the shackle bolts to. You can see the part I need in the picture but no part number

Depending on your plans you might look into a shackle flip kit.
It reverses the rear suspension from a tension to a compression shackle and gives about a 4" lift. Since these replace the shackle brackets it could be a solution if you were going to use rear lift springs or blocks.

Sorry… I thought you were looking for shackles. The rear spring hangers are riveted on. What happened to yours? Here's a picture of mine from a Skyjacker lift kit leaf spring installation.

Dan I bought this truck as a basket case. The guy started to redo the truck and lost interest. The guy disassembled the whole frame. I mean every bracket and crossmember was off the frame. I started out with 2 frame rails and a pile of brackets and cross members. I have all the brackets accept for the rear spring hangers. That picture shows exactly what I need.

Tim, I looked into the shackle flip but I got 6" lift springs for the truck. I'd end up with 10" of lift in the rear if I read ord's info correctly. I just didn't want to go that wild of a lift on this truck.

[SS Tim]

Then just use a set of 2-1/2" rear springs with the HD shackles.
Better yet just become a subscriber and post a "want to buy" ad in the classified section.

My suggestion would be to become a supporting member. Then you could post a "Wanted to Buy" in the classified section. Someone should be able to help you then, especially if you're looking for an OE hanger. Just my $0.02.

[Rebo123]

How do I become a supporting member? I'm new to all of this.

GM shows the same service replacement part 3933332 (2 reqd.) for 67-72 K10-20 and K Blazer.

[Rebo123]

Tim, your saying all I have to do is go to a Chevy dealer and get these ordered

[Mike C]

I'd post in the wanted section as well. You might find a member who has done a shackle flip and has the original hangers still, or someone who is thinking about it and could use a few bucks to help make it happen.

No they have been disco since 75.
However if you kick up a part that would be the number. More to the point were the vehicles that all used the same replacement part. You may find a good "set" by getting singles off of two different vehicles. A quick Google seach of the P/N showed only my post here and gm parts wiki. GMparts direct does not show it in the automatic system either.

I know this is not the right area to bring this up but i have a set of those factory hangers. My truck has the off road design suspension parts under it. I'll more than likely list them in classifieds at some point . I'll have to follow the rules and list them for everybody to see.

There is no reason why you can't post them for sale and mention that you're giving Rebo123 the first chance to buy them. If he refuses, then it's fair game for everyone else.

How do I become a supporting member? Not trying to break any rules here but I'm very interested.

[Rebo123]
