Re: 1956 rear leaf spring shackle

I think that is just his rear hanger and someone's idea of how to move the springs in and lower the rig bit at the same time. That might be the eye of an old spring but who ever did it has a lot better dril bits than I do or used a torch to punch the holes for the bolts. I'd guess that that bolt on top is pretty loose in the hanger and the spring.
