Rear Leaf Spring Hanger Brackets
I am looking for a pair (front bracket and rear bracket) of the rear leaf spring hanger brackets that would have been installed on a 1941 K2, as shown below.
The front bracket is riveted to the frame and a crossmember but is otherwise simple in design. The rear bracket (shackle mount) appears to be bolted to the frame and is extremely simple in design.
As I approach my project, I intend to fabricate new leaf spring hanger brackets to accommodate wider springs and would like to use the existing brackets as a basis of design but am unable to remove mine at the moment without compromising the rolling chassis. I hope to be able to pull together a "kit" which would include designs that could be shared with a local machine shop for fabrication as well as part numbers for a new hanger, bushings and other needed hardware.
Has anyone been down this road before? No reason for me to re-invent the wheel if it's already been done.
I am happy to pay for the brackets if someone has a set they can remove or have removed in place of another rear suspension design.
