I'm looking at the list of rear shackles for my '26/'27 T.
Are these worth the extra money?

Or should I really blow my budget and get the
Rear Shackle and bushing set, original style U-shaped
https://www.modeltford.com/item/3840B-OR.aspx

Or go with the low end
Rear shackle set, non-original style U-style
https://www.modeltford.com/item/3840BRE.aspx

Either way I am planning on replacing the bushings.

Skip the low end shackles. There are photos of them on the forum showing how they can come apart.

I should have mentioned that this is a driver and no where close to being a 100 point show car.
We have fun with it and it is very kid friendly.

Good advice from Mr. Thrifty.

I have an extra set of older repo shackles, the U type. Contact me PM or email and we will talk.

Pay attention to what Steve Jelf said. Mark Chaffin has a pile of them for sale now on the classifieds, and they are on ebay all the time.

After going thru 3 pages of listings I only found one for shackles from Mark. They were mostly fronts from what I could see and WERE sold. If there were others, maybe I missed them. How about a link to them?

Check Chickasha. There will be lots of them there.
