Front Shackles
I am in search of an alternate part number for the front spring shackle off a 1959 A110.
Jeff from the forum helped me out by giving me the IHC part number, which is 169921R91. I thought I had it figured out with AC Delco part number 45g13005, but now that these arrived I see that they are about an inch longer than the originals. I am assuming this would make the truck sit higher, which I don't want to do because I am installing new springs, which will make it sit high enough.
Anyone have thoughts on this, or happen to have found a cross referenced shackle of similar dimensions? The original was around 4 1/2 inches in length. The AC Delco I bought is closer to 5 1/2 inches.
As always, thank you for taking the time to read this and help!
