Drop hangers for 1970 GMC C2500.
 
I am having trouble finding a drop leaf spring hanger for my 1970 3/4 ton pickup. It has the HD rear leaf springs. They are the same 2.25 inches wide as the standard & C10 springs. There must be at least 5 different manufacturers making drop hangers for the 73-87 trucks. Does nobody make a version for the narrower leaf 67-72? (I am looking for a 4" drop in the rear, and do not want to notch the frame.) I have drop shackles and a set of "pancake" bump stops. The cab and bed are off of the frame. Does any one know where to get the drop hangers that I need?

DJM at Speedway motors (I have a DJM flip kit on back of my '69. ECE front setup)

Summit has Classic Performance shackles:

There are others as well. Western Chassis, McGaugheys, CPP I think all make shackles as well.

Thanks Blue Boy. That looks like what I need. Ordered a set today. I don't know why they chose to call them C10 hangers (C10 trucks have coils in the rear.) I think they could sell a few more, if they knew what to call them.

Not all C10 trucks were coil spring in the rear.
GMC trucks had more than Chevrolet,... but you could get them in both.
