I've got the 34 Ford in the shop with a broken front spring shackle, I have a new spare one to put in it but this is the second one that has broke, are these the same size as cars and 1 tons or are they bigger, the shaft measures at ,555

The '30-'34BB front hanger is the same as the 28-33BB rear hanger. It is also the same as the rear hanger on 28-31 passenger and commercial 1 ton.



How come you keep braking the hanger?

Eddy! If you, we don't want these pictures in with the truck photos I guess we'll need a new forum for this type of discussion.

I think when hauling the front end bounces too much is when it breaks, I chain to the front axle lightly just to show there is tie downs there and tie the rear axles

[Tony Bullard]

Instead of tying the axle down I tie the frame down and it takes all the bounce out of the springs.



Now the truck, axle and trailer move as a unit.

Hows this? Title OK? Sure is nice to be able to move messages.

I like it!

Here is what is there for a shackle, this is the spare that I have, it breaks at that little cross bar, it doesn't look like what you posted.

This is the same thing with 2 grease fittings and 2 nuts. It's a forging.

Aaron,
This AA rear spring shackle should fit your BB front spring.
