1966 K10 rear leaf spring hanger

[MFC66]

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a rear leaf spring hanger for a 1966 K10? Not sure if it is the same hanger as the C10. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

No one reproduces them as far as I know. Mine was not as bad as yours but worn really bad along with the shackles front hangers and springs. So I swapped 73 and newer springs and hangers along with axle perches as the newer ones sit on the axle further out.

Thanks for the response! I guess I will be looking for a '73 4x4 donor truck since I am also looking to change the front axle for disc brakes and add power steering.

Just to clarify your response, hangers and perches can be used from '73 and newer? as in '73-81? Thanks again for the help!

I have considered doing the frame swap onto a suburban, but from what I've read I would have better results swapping components onto the stock frame.

Yes 73 and newer will work you just have to measure and drill holes etc. IF you are swapping front axle any ways just get a whole donor truck and swap rear axle also. Recent posts in the 4x4 section on k10 springs. Also search 62shorts step swap. Search argonaut big ugly build, k20 adventurer rig, 63genII spring swap. All have done this

you can find them on a c-30

Both of mine on my K20 were broken like that. Got a used set off a C20 from Aspen Auto Parts. I think 60 to 66 with rear leaf springs are the same.
