Front Spring Mounts - 54 GM

Hey guys, I'm installing a 54 GM pickup truck front spring and I-beam axle setup into the gasser I'm building. Can someone tell me where I can get the front spring mounts that I weld to the frame? And the hardware needed, Can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks for any and all help.

Hay man.
I 've got the same set-up for my 55 chevy,
check out speedway
www.speedwaymotors.com or call 1800 979 0122 ,
they have everything that you need,their prices are a little stiff sometimes ,they have a on line catalog or you can get them to mail you one,
but if you have a tractor store or farm store ,some of them carry leaf spring perch's ,just measure the width of the leaf spring (side to side)and buy them that size,
someplaces have bolt on ones ,but if you use them ,make sure to weld them also, and use all grade 8 bolts
I've not done mine yet .but i've seen it done a couple of times and its not hard ,but its alot of work!
keep my email and if I can help let me know I've got a drawing of how the front end is set-up.......
Keep me posted and let me know any problems that I have to keep in mind ,when I do my 55.
Good luck............

 

Thanks!! - I appreciate the the help man. I looked but couldn't find them on their online catalog. I'll look again.

 

Don't know if they will work for ya but I have to remove the original hangers from my 54 Chevy truck to install a MII bench. How soon do you need them. If they will work for ya. You can have em. Let me know Dennis UPS

 

That's real cool of you Dennis! I would need them within a couple weeks. If that will work for you I'll take them, if not I still appreciate the offer.

Farm and Home has hangers and shackles for 2" springs. they are intended for trailers i think

 

Thx - I'll have to look them up.
