Front shackle replacement

02-16-2023, 01:18 PM

Does anyone have measurements on the stock front shackles on a first gen g10 1966 ? My van came equipped with some auto zone cheapies and I think it’s screwing with the steering geometry. Just looking for the measurements or the replacement for the originals

I have the cut up remnants of a '65 in my backyard. If they're not too crusty I'll get some numbers for you Sunday.
