My 1939 Ford Standard Coupe - The Restoration |

The picture is a bit dark, but this shows the mounting of the new rear hanger on the rear corner of the frame. The bracket is at least 12" long and extends around the corner about 5" or more. I had to drill out two rivets I believe, and the rest of the mounting used existing holes in the frame for the hardware. I also fitted up the spring shackle and the complete spring assembly to see how it all fit. |

Here is the front hanger and spring on the same side. Again, the kit includes all the hardware including the large mounting bolts for the spring itself. |

You can see the rear hanger bracket (passenger side) just bolted from the front locating hole. I swung it out to the side for this picture. |

Following the instructions for locating the shock absorber upper mounts, I drilled the holes in the rear cross-member. Each bracket mounts about 9" inside the side frame rails. |
