why won't they fit?
The 60-66 4x4 uses a greaseable pin and bushing to mount the springs, the newer trucks use bolts to hold them in.
I don't believe the holes in the springs are the right size. That's why I used the springs hangers off of a square body 4x4 for the rear and my machinist buddy modified the original front hangers to accept the standard bolts to mount the front springs in my truck.
