[rlcbit]

For 69 dart front leaf spring hanger. 5/8 hole in .

 

[barracudakid]

I should have that

 

[Oldmanmopar]

69 car should have a 1/2 hole. 73 up are 5/8. They are also drilled at different locations. Did someone drill your or are they 73

 

[rlcbit]

All 69 GTS had 5/8 holes. 340 and big block.

 

[Oldmanmopar]

Then someone drilled them. See if yours have the small holes in the corner all 67-72 did big and small block. They are 1/2 inch. If they don't have the hole they are Direct connection or 73-76. 5/8. They also set at different heights as seen in the pictures. They move the spring up 1/4 inch. Just something you or the seller should be aware of so you get the one you need to match what you have. The 1/2 inch can be drilled

 

[Oldmanmopar]

I can identify them in the box of parts just by the one corner angle cut

 

[rlcbit]

The 1/2 hole ones do have a small hole in the corner. All 340 and big block darts had 5/8 holes.

 

[Oldmanmopar]

Owned several and stripped several none that I ever owned had 5/8 holes. I must have stripped at least 25 to 30 1969's alone all 340 and 383 cars I have a Barracuda here right now. Some one must have put springs in your cars and drilled them. These cars are 53 years old now. I started buying and stripping these cars in the 70's as wrecks with my father. Check out the part number in a change over book every 67-72 dodge and plymouth a-body had the same hanger.

 

[rlcbit]

The part number for the 1/2 hole is 2539489. The one for 5/8 holes 2403768. The front bushing bolt 1/2 part# 192202. The 5/8 bolt # 1948876. The front bushing for the 1/2 hole is 2539127. The front bushing for 5/8 hole is 2403245. All this is from Chrysler’s parts catalog. I have had a few darts my self. And still have a few

 

[Oldmanmopar]

Those are not all 1967-72 PN's they cover all A's and the bushings cover all mopar.

The only 5/8 I have from the cars that went through here were 73-76. All 72 and earlier A's were 1/2 unless drilled. I have what you need if yours have the extra hole but they are drilled 1/2 inch to 5/8. They were not factory. I could have sold you a set without telling you.

The reason I asked and stated this was because the 5/8 do not have the extra hole and are drilled in a different location as I pictured. I didn't want to send you a 5/8 style when you need a 1/2 inch style drilled to 5/8. I have several of all styles But I guess I don't have what you are looking for.

All my BB and 340 springs are 1/2 for 72 and earlier and most hangers are still on the springs and have 3/4 inch headed bolts and nuts.

my 73 340 springs are 5/8 and have 13/16 headed bolts and nuts. You definitely need very special hangers which I don't have unless I sell you a drilled set. There are no PN's on them so what would it matter unless they are located different like the later years as pictured?

 

[rlcbit]

Here is few pictures this might help you. And the 5/8 bolt head is 15/16 not 13/16. I have several dart that are original. That has 5/8 leaf spring hangers .

 

[Oldmanmopar]

Sorry about 13/16 instead of 15/16. But your picture of the manual shows 273,318,340,383 are all the same., except hemi which came with Super stock springs. Of all the years stripping these cars I have never seen the 5/8 bolt on 67-72 a-body. Maybe they removed them before I got the cars. I have a couple complete cars here that are original 273 commando and 340 cars with the springs and rears in them in. You have my curiosity I will go check today. I also have the rear hangers to install early SS springs . They take larger B-body bushings and larger 3/8 shackles.

I can help you with your part but I would need you to post a picture of yours that you need a pair to. Include a scale in picture for location of hole. I get $25 plus ride for one that is cleaned to bare metal and free of rust pits. Steve
