rear spring hangers on 79 c10 stepside

[skinner2304]

I bought this truck for $125 and it has a rusted out spring hanger and I want to replace it. The question is how? It is rivited on, do I grind rivits off and then bolt on the replacement? Does anyone know were I can get a new one or will I have to get one from a junkyard? Thanks in advance for all your help.

You can either grind or torch off the rivets. You could find one at the junk yard or you can buy one new at www. competitor.com there about $80. But I'm sure you could find other places to buy one. Then just bolt it back on using grade 8 bolts they are just as good or better than the rivets.
