Could Someone Help Me?
 

My 1970 GMC shortbed has leaf springs only on the back, I bought new U-bolts today, and now I need to find the plate they attach to under the rear suspension. I don't know what it is called, could you guys help me out?

in the service man. they are called clamp plates. I looked at the lmc catalog, no listing for that part, just u-bolts and spacers, maybe somebody can make them for you. chk gmcpauls and napa

Did you lose yours?

Your best bet may be junkyards. Just check the width of the U-bolts.

No I've still got mine but one side is rusted pretty badly. Does anyone know where I could get these?

Re: Could Someone Help Me?
 

lots of people selling parts in the classified section :D

kurt at diy4x.com can make you some on the cheap...

thanks Senator350 I may call him

Re: Could Someone Help Me?
 

Which part is it you're really needing? The U bolts attach to the lower mounting bracket. I don't think that part is going to be easy to make if it looks like mine...

If you're a paid member you can submit a WTB post and I'm sure there are some out there. I've heard of a lot of guys doing flip kits and/or converting theirs to trailing arms. They may still have those brackets laying around.

Is this what you're talking about?

Yes I need the bracket on the bottom, I bought new U-bolts..... but thats what I need.
