I don't know if your '69 has the 7/16 in front or the 3/8. The earlier '67 and '68 had 3/8" u-bolts and several board members have had them break at the most inoportune times...like going 70 on the freeway. It makes for a very sharp and unexpected turn!!!! I am going to upgrade mine to 7/16" as soon as I can find the time...need to put the new cab on first!
