65 GMC rear spring shackles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone been able to find rear leaf spring shackles for a GMC (2wd)?

I really just want stock replacements because the truck is low enough already (I put the axle on top of the springs).

there are some manufacturers that have some 4wd stuff and I found some F--d stuff that was close, but no direct replacement for a 65 GMC.

I bought some Western Chassis lowering ones for a 67-72 that I thought I could make work....not even close. The spring width on the 65 is 2.25"

any thoughts?
