Drop hangers for 1970 GMC C2500.

[tow rig]

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?

Summit has Classic Performance shackles:

There are others as well. Western Chassis, McGaugheys, CPP I think all make shackles as well.

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.

Not all C10 trucks were coil spring in the rear.
GMC trucks had more than Chevrolet,... but you could get them in both.

I know this is an older thread but I can't find these drop hangers on the x2industries site. I've got a 1969 GMC with leaf springs and I'm wanting to find these drop hangers. The 73 to 87 are all over the web, and I'm wondering if these 73 to 87 would work. The mounting holes may be different but I'm willing to drill new holes if needed.

Thanks.

Spring widths were different (67-72 vs 73-87 leafs) for the half-ton trucks. What width are your leafs?

As far as using 73-87 hangers, where there's a will.... there's a way.
