Anyone have a set of mounting U bolts and brackets for the lower control arms? Let me know- Thanks-

I have these. they are replated originals from a 1967 gmc. these are 3/8" thick. I believe some years had thicker bolts than other years. These would be the thin ones. What year is your truck?

my truck is a 1970-- aren't all 67-70's the same? By chance do you also have the brackets that go with them--

i have heard some are larger but i have only ever had 67's so i am not sure. Do you mean the cradles that rivit onto the crossmember? I dont have any extras of those.

I have never had one break but it might not be a bad idea. probably depending how rough you are on your front suspension. Your call really.

I believe the halfton u bolts are smaller in diameter of all the 3 quarter tons are larger. I have both sets available I'll do the half tons for 12 dollars shipped priority
