Shackle Length

[Fly Boy]

Can some one tell me the length of the Shackles on B or E Body Cars from center to center on the bolts and the bolt diameter.

I am measureing a "B" body shackle as I type.
Length = 3.5 inches center to center
bolt diameter = 9/16"
Step down = 7/16" thread
Bushing id = 9/16"
Bushing od = 1"

"A" body shackles are the same length, but use small bolts.
