Where can i find 65 GMC leaf U Bolts?

I took a few leafs out the rear and the U bolts are rotten at the plate. I am having one hell of a time tracking them down. Anybody know where to find them?

Re: Where can i find 65 GMC leaf U Bolts?

If you have a custom spring house in town, they can usually fabricate new ones for about the same price as buying off the shelf parts.

And here are a few U Bolt suppliers resulting from a simple Google search. There are many others to pick from:

Im out in the sticks, no place close.


Thanks for the tip, but this isnt my first rodeo. When i said i was having a hard time. I actually ment it. I did try the "simple Google search" And i checked those places. They dont have my size listed. Im not sure if they dont carry the Die for it or what. (square) the measurements are 2-3/8 ID x 1/2 bolt. Around 7" Long. Im gonna try calling a few places today.

This is where I get my U-bolts and related parts. They are local to me, but I do believe they ship all over. I know they can make what ever you need. Give them a call, or send Jack an email.
