Rear Upper Coil Spring "seat"

Good evening. I removed my rear coils, and the bracket that is riveted to the frame and sits on the top of the spring was really rusty. I decided to give them a few wacks with a ball-peen and found some holes. I am trying to decide if I am going to repair them, buy new, or fab new ones. I have already pulled them off, and won't have access to the truck until Thursday.

I also couldn't help but wonder if people just ditched them all together.

Curious what others have done here. I have been searching for info and parts, but I don't seem to know what it is I am looking for.



There is a good chance these got a little tweaked upon removal.

I replaced them and bolted the replacements in. Don't think I had any luck getting them in the parts board here, but found some on ebay...

Do you happen to know what search terms you used, or what to call them? I’ll have a look. Thanks

Re: Rear Upper Coil Spring "seat"

You should really become a premium member on this message board and post a "WTB" want to buy in the parts section...

I got mine from ChevyManBill on instagram, but bought them from his ebay store https://www.ebay.com/sch/vintagechev...m=154810731736

I don't see any currently listed. You can call him or message him. I think he's on this message board also...
