HELP,
I have a 72 chevy k10 4x4 which the backing plates holding the rear end which the ubolts tie into broke in half.... they rusted and broke in half! Keep in mind these u bolts go around the leaf springs and not around the rear axle housing like many newer trucks.

Question, where can I get a set of replacements or is there a newer style that will be a direct replacement. LMC and other chevy truck parts dealers don't show them.

I can be contacted at cpeters@learfield.com

Thanks
