Yeah, when I am talking to these places (the parts stores more than the BIG RIG fabricators) I keep getting asked, "Are they 5/8 or 9/16 inches?" And they are definitely thicker than "normal" so that "close to 3/4" size sounds right.

I can't get a quote over the phone unless I know the right size and I'd rather not run all over town for quotes with my U-bolt in hand. There are several places in town that will make them "while U wait" but the local Napa store is much closer, so I am trying to find out so I can buy a pair from them.

Thanks!
