Hi,
It seems like everyone is out of rear shackles for the 32-34 Fords.
Does any one know the shackle center to center length?
I guess I'm going to have to make some.

There's no difference between the front and rear shackles.

I used Peat & jakes , they last the best if you want to drive it.

As far as I know ,On a 33 /34 the shackles are longer on the rear as the rear spring is wider ,I thought this would be the case for 32 as well ?? He can use 35/36 rear ones ,will fit

Are you looking for the shackle cartridges or the shackle bars (plates with 2 square holes)?

The shackle bars are same front and rear 32-40.

The shackle studs are, of course, of different length front to rear, but the shackles themselves are the same. The question posed about center-to-center length would seem to pertain to the shackles, not the shackle studs.

Thanks everyone. I found a set of nos ones thru the forum. Now I just need some
front spring perches and I'll be set.
