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 Corey |

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

Re: Shackles
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. Cheers Corey |

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