M101A1 square u-bolts

[mkitchell]

Does anybody know where to find the square ubolts that fasten the springs to the axle?
I was told that M37 ubolts were the same, but they aren't working (too big around).
Anyonw know where I can find these? I believe they are 1/2" bolt x 2" inside measurement x 7-8" long.

You can have any spring shop make up a set, or stop in at Peterbuilt. They have a huge selection of U-bolts.

Go here - USA-made U-bolts, round or square head, some of the best prices around, for any application, made when you need them. They made some U-bolts for me for my -725, and they were delivered FAST!

A lot of Towns will have a place like "Trailer Craft/Trailer supply. They will have U-bolts of various sizese they deal with. Otherwise, have them made. Use a generous application of never sieze. I like to leave a minimum amount of bolt thread extending byond the nut. It gets rock blasted and makes it difficult to impossible to remove the U-bolt nuts later.
