Prathbun · 06-04-2009, 11:58 AM

I need some new rear axle u bolts for my 67 1/2 ton with a 12 bolt rear. I found the link (that someone posted) to the place that sells them but I don't know what size I need.

Does anyone know what size I need order??

Thanks!!

I found 2 sources online. Yes I have a ruler but I thought someone may have already done the measurements and have some valuable input.

I need the dia., and length See the diagram below.

If I read the link from TX Firefighter correctly, they should be 20" long (total length) and 5/8" in dia. with a 3" tube diameter. So basically I've answered my own question. Does anyone agree with these measurements??

Thanks for all the input!!!

I'm thinking stock was 3/4 dia.

Can anyone confirm these dimensions??

Thanks!!

OK,

Here is what I came up with.

"A" is 3/4 NF
"B" is 3 1/2"
"C" is 7 1/2"

These measurements are from a '69 C-10, 2 wd, oem coil spring rear end.
