Yeah, I see now. I'd rather not mess with the radiator.
The PO had tack-welded the spring hanger onto the frame. The dog-eared rivet holes are parted from the bracket. I see I'm gonna have some big grinder fun.
Just to make life more interesting, the Stepside's battery burned out after only 6 years (!), so I had to cannibalize the Jimmy's battery just to have one good work truck.

I notice LMC offered [in the '05 catalog] a Spring Hanger Front, LH, P/N: 34-1340 for the '73-'91 series. How close is that part to a '69-'72 K/5's Spring Hanger?
Thanks for your advice.
