Search on this site for a very good blow by blow rebuild. I cant remember who it was. Maybe they will respond.

Re: 67 d100 front spring shackles
they don't fit oe shackles
think they would fit inside of old bushing
so need to make some measurement and figure out what ones will (at least i have a place that sells them )

Re: 67 d100 front spring shackles
so mc masters did have the bushing . thanks
i used a oe size. instead of buying one bushing for each side it was cheaper to buy 2 at haft the lenth
then press them in from each side
then just cut off the 1/8 " of overhang
the one frame mount was snaped at the welds on the frame so i cut the rivots and removed it from the frame
in stead if rewelding used one from the parts truck (witch had one that was broken too)
so made it easy to press in
the one that was still in the truck i cut a grove in the old one with a sawzall (made removal much easyier)
then used a screw press to reinstall
king pins done,spindles drilled for caliper mounts
hope to have back on all four next week ,then head and bolt the nose back on
