Orig Stealth Mod
Just a suggestion ... you may want to include some measurements/dimensions so that potential buyers will not feel like they will end up with something they can't use.
Thanks for the suggestion GTX. Sorry I thought if anyone was interested that they would have asked questions. Anyway here is a pic with the one on the right being the one for sale. The one on the left is my orig. I guess with my 69 formula s, it has hd suspension so it has a 5/8" bolt that goes thru the bushing on the leafs and the hanger. Everything is identical to my orig one except for the bushing bolt hole.
Dimensions for bolt hole 3/8"
hanger outside measures 3.35" side to side
hanger outside measures 4.32" top to bottom
studs center-center top to bottom measure 3.11"
studs center-center side to side measure 1.74"
studs are 3/8" coarse
Maybe I am being too picky, but if I drilled the hole out to 5/8, it would be an oblong hole. Hope this helps

Steve,
If you wanted to use the better looking of the two sets, you could weld in a plug and redrill the correct hole in the right spot...
A little paint and you would be the only person to know.

Thanks Clyher I might just do that...good idea
Beatnik, I didn't mean to screw up a possible parts score on you, only to help out Steve. If you don't end up with these and need a set, PM me. I have a set from my '72 Duster available with the small hole.
FWIW, I needed bushings for the rear spring and could not find them for the small size that my '72 had. I had a '75 Duster parts car and a bushing kit was available for that so I swapped over.

If they don't quite bolt up..you have B and E body hangers = differnt stud spacing...Nkay?
Stud spacing is identical. Just the spring bushing bolt spacing and size is different. I'll see if I can plug and weld and re-drill.
Got the issue straightened out with my hangers. I took your advice clyher and filled them(well I had somebody else do it) and redrilled the holes.
Sorry beatnik, problem solved they are gonna be used.

Nothing to see Here!
If you use a Stepped Drill bit/Uni Bit the hole will come out perfectly round and centered in the exact same spot! FWIW
Thanks Mad Dart, I'll remember that for next time!

Mad Dart, you are correct in what you said. In this case though the hole needed to be centered a little off. Centered where it was may have caused some interference with the bushing.
Beatnik - shoot me a line if you need a set of hangers with the smaller holes.
