Leaf spring questions.

[Crazy4408pac]

First, I'm putting a 70 B body 8 3/4 in my 72 Dart Swinger. Which was a /6. I have new springs. Here are my questions.

1. Would I order shackles for the 70 or 72?

2. Can I use the rear and front hangers, from the 72?

3. Can I use the spring plate( lower shock mount), from the 72?

4. Are the bushings the same size

Thanks

Everything is reusable, except the shock plate, you going to need to hunt down one that has a 3" U bolt pattern. Or make one.

The rear shackle bushings are 7/8 or 1 inch.
Depending on the front bushing the bolt can be different sizes 1/2 or 5/8.
