Question 14 bolt help

I'm redoing my suspension on my 14 bolt and have to get new spring plates for the rear. It is a dually axle so it takes the plates on the bottom. Anyone know if anyone remakes these? I had a set to go on top but can't use less than a 3" block to clear and don't want to lift it. Tube diameter is 3-3/8" if I remember right...

Lots of places. Most anywhere that carries off road fab parts should have them. Here are some from Ruff Stuff. http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/...UB-PLATES.html

You might also try Barnes 4wd. http://www.barnes4wd.com/U-Bolts-U-B...ates_c_37.html

Re: 14 bolt help

Stengal Bros. Inc.
1105 Sumner Ave.
Whitehall PA
18052

610- 433-3149

U Bolts PN # 361-413 x 2 sets
Square bend 5/8 × 2.56 x 12.6 grade 8
23 bucks a pair x 2

Bottom plate PN # M1023 x 2 plates
17.95 per plate x 2 plates

They come with washers and nuts

I just purchased these exact ones for my 1986 K30 3+3 Dually " Cab and Chassis 14 Bolt "

FYI - I purchased the ubolt flip kit from ORD and the plates were too wide to fit my C&C 14 Bolt rear " they hit the brake backing plate ", thus my sourcing stock replacements from Stengal Bros.

Re: 14 bolt help

Tecrsq thank you. Since you redone your rear end, how did you do your brakes on the rear? My leaf springs are above my bleeder screws.

Re: 14 bolt help

My truck was purchased from a Fire Dept and only had 34,000 miles on it, as a FD vehicle it had regular maintenance. The rear brakes were fine upon inspection and I haven't done anything to them as it all looked freshly replaced.

Also I'm looking at the Ruff Stuff brackets and a rear disk application for my truck, to replace the drum setup.

Re: 14 bolt help

I want to do rear disks but is too expensive atm and my drums and shoes are in alright enough shape still. When they need replacing I will probably go disks... I'll figure something out.
