Shackles
 

Hi All,

Hope everyone is having a great weekend, i am chasing a couple of shackles for my 1942 1 1/2 tonne truck. The part number is,

01T-5777

Would appreciate if anyone has a couple of NOS ones that they are willing to sell, i have contacted Fred and unfortunately he does not have any.

or if you have someone i could potentially contact that may have a couple it would be appreciated.

Cheers

Corey

Re: Shackles
 

Are your brackets bad? or do you just need new pins and bushings?

Re: Shackles
 

Thanks Bob,

Apparently these are impossible to find new, suggestion was to machine mine. I will look into this now if i cannot get new ones.

Thanks for the info

Cheers

No my brackets are flogged out, hole is oblong so i will need to build them back up and have them machined.

How about boring them out and installing a bushing.

Why not just buy good used ones. I found a bunch for sale when I googled it. Tons of guys with frames laying around.

Hey Guys,

Just thought i would update on the shackle saga, so i ended up milling out the hole and inserting a sleeve, then installed a bronze bush,. Was getting nowhere looking for a descent shackle. Attached a couple of pics.

Nice job!

Re: Shackles
 

Agreed, great work. Our pal Charlie NY saved a pair of '32 shackles for me by doing the same.

Re: Shackles
 

Thanks guys ,

Yeah it was more work but worth it in the end, i think they turned out pretty well.

Cheers
