Anyone know a good part number?

Post by Farmall »

Hey
I'm looking for a part number for the rear spring hanger (standard style) on a 71 f100 2wd.
Sometimes the mind, for reasons we don't necessarily understand, just decides to go to the store for a quart of milk.

Don't discount trying a dent or Early Bronco part number for this.
It's another part that sees too short a life due to the dirt and mud they accumalate rusting them out.
I actually drilled 1/4" holes in the bottom of my Early Bronco ones to help keep them clean and dry.

So there are some that fit? I can't find any that list a bumpside 2wd.
Looks like I have to find one for the right spring width and hope the mounting holes line up.

I can't say for sure, but owning many of both dents and bumps over 40+ years I know the dent looks very close to the same.
It's def worth taking a tape measure into a boneyard for and measuring.
Also pretty sure by now the Early Bronco spring perch is being "repopped" so if you find anyone with an early Bronco to measure, you'll prob be able to get a new one. :pray:
