Leaf spring front hanger info

[brewil]

Hi everyone,

I have just made dolly's for my A-body for the rear but need to know the bolt size needed as my car is not with me.

Basically the bolt size used that attaches the front leaf spring hanger to the chassis.

Thanks!!!

Maybe 3/8's not positive.

I know the nuts are 9/16". Should be a 3/8" stud??

3/8" standard thread nuts with washers made onto them.

those brackets have the bigger bolts.. i think they are 5/8

here ya go. found the pics of the new springs for jamies dart..

these are the v8 size. if your car was a slant sin then the bolt is smaller. the brackets you have use the larger bolt. so check and make sure the springs also have the larger hole.

I think he's talking about the four bolts on the front of the hanger.

oh.

They are either 5/16" or 3/8", my faded memory wants to say 5/16"

The front hanger has 4 x 5/16" studs and nuts on the back...

The rear hanger has 2 x 3/8" bolts...
