Can you purchase u bolts at a local store or is there something special about them. If so does someone have a part # ?
Thanks,

I'm sure there is a military part number, but they should also be available at all the usual auto parts stores. Just take an old one with you to match up the size.

Gerry,

To the best of my knowledge they are unique to the old Dodge PW's. The front is a 7373769 and the rear 7373768. Most of the vendors hewe on the forum can provide them.

I was hoping a local store would be cheaper than a vendor. Had to cut them off in 3 pieces so I cant take with me.
Thanks,

Yeah....that would be kind of problematic. The "usual suppliers" mentioned should be able to help you out. It'll just take a day or two longer.

If you can get the width and length you can go to NAPA and they may be able to help you with it. You can always try that and if that doesn't pan out then you have the above mentioned vendors to go to.

Various u-bolts were used depending on a number of spring pack options on various models. You need to know the length of the legs on the bolt to insure you are getting the correct ones. I have many take-off u-bolts at a reasonable price if you are interested. Just call & answer a couple of questions, I think I can help you.

If you have a local heavy truck suspension/spring shop, they can bend these up for you from grade 8 rods, again you must know exactly what you need.

You will not find these at a local NAPA or other auto parts store.
