rearend u-bolt clamp , what do they come on

I am going to build me a set of traction bars for my 82 and seen this picture with the lower u-bolt clamp with the nuts on bottom. I have mostly fooled with 80's trucks and have not seen this bracket. Mine has a u-bolt with the nuts on top and no lower bracket , u-bolts just go around the axle tube .I would like to have a couple of them to weld to for my traction bars but I don't know what they come on. If any one has seen and know what years and size trucks they come on I would appreciate the info so I can start looking in the junk yard.

This is a picture I found of what I am talking about.

I believe 88-98 chevy trucks have those u-bolt plates.

The picture looks to be an 88 axle. The 73-87 1 ton trucks also have this style u bolt plates.

Thanks for the help. I plan on stopping by the junk yard this afternoon. If there is any other years anyone else knows what these come on I would appreciate the help. I am putting together a list of trucks to see if the yard has them.

That looks to be a later model truck....88+.

My 2004 Yukon XL has the same ubolt placement as well. The one in the picture has disc brakes so definitely later eras.
