Can anyone identify this shackle? It has a Ford Script and part number on the inside. This is the only picture I have for now.

From top to bottom they are about 4 1/4 inches and from side to side about 3 1/4 inches. Heres another picture showing the dogbones.

Do you guys call those a shackle??? If that is a shackle, what do you call the links between the spring and axle - the ones you grease at every service.
FWIW, we call those a "U" bolt.

that is a rear spring U bolt, not A shackle.

It looks like the spring-shakle of a T-model. Look number of the bar.

Thanks, For a moment I thought this was another example of a part changing name. That is consistent with what we call them.

The bar has no number but the shackle says A-326 with a T below.
