    Steve,

    What is the hole diameter you need? I have three new sets of bushings and one new shackle kit is with one of them. I know I need one set (I have not looked to see which yet), but the two loose sets I have one is smaller than the other. So you may get lucky if the size I don't need is the size you do need. Measure and let me know.

    Best measurements I have are: ID of shackle is just shy of 1.5" and over all length is right at 2". Hope that makes sense. I called energy suspension and they do not make one for the Falcons?? But I have there sizing chart, maybe something will fit if yours don't. Thanks

    What I need is to fit the new leaf springs I got. So I will shift some focus tonight when I get home to see what it is I have and what I need and will let you know if I have any leftovers..

    Also - are the hanger brackets and the leaf eye the same inside diameter? I have to check this myself tonight... as a matter of fact.

    I believe mine are the same size. But I better check to make sure?? Good point.

    Steve,

    Mine are 1 3/8" and apparently only have one set of each size bushing. One set this size and one about 1" OD - and I have no idea what those would fit. Must have been a very early 60-63. They list a different version for this range. I wish when things vary in diameter and the year range is so confusing, they list diameters.

    Sorry I didn't have a new set... but I do have a used set.

    Thanks for looking. I think I have tracked down a new set for mine. My local parts guy found a chart showing all of energy suspensions "universal fit" sizes and the part number we came up with is 9.9482G. The G is for black and R is for red. These have a 1.382 OD and fit my spring and frame mount very well. Yeah now on to the next nickle and dime!!!
