Rear Leaf Spring U-Bolt Bracket Replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Big-Blue · 03-08-2009, 10:26 PM

Pulled the U-bolts from the rear springs on my 71 K20 and the bracket beneath the axle is pretty rusty. At least an 1/8" of material flaked off due to rust once I got it off. It also looked like it had been repaired in the past. Anyone know where to find new ones? I looked at LMC and they sell about every part but that.

Thanks!

I have the exact same problem and gmcpauls.com does not sell this bracket. Did you ever find one?

I just sandblasted it and decided it was good enough.
