71 chevy rear end ubolt?

Where is best place to buy u-bolts for rear end?

We are getting ready to install the fresh 12 bolt posi and need them. I think we also should replace trailing arm bushings and springs while under it...is there any other thing that should be addressed while into it?

truck it's going into. Not mine



new brakes, bearings, wheel cylinders, seals, hardware, brake lines...

First, I would cruise by our vendors area and see if someone over there can help you.

If no luck there, I have gotten U-bolts here in Seattle at Six Roblees ... 1-800-275-7499
They specialize in Big Rigs but have a lot of other stuff for light duty commercial and trailors.

BTW---Beautiful job on the diff!
