Source for 69-72 K10 rear axle U-bolt spacers?

[ohboy321]

My K10 has a 1970 chassis and I am looking for a source for rear axle U-bolt spacers. LMC shows them in their catalog (item 5 in pic below) , but they are not available. I have looked at a lot of vendors sites and haven’t seen them listed anywhere else.

Is this something I should look for using a WTB on the Parts Board? Rust has destroyed one of mine, but decent used ones painted up would be fine also.

Any help appreciated.

You could make those if you can't find them. Use flat stock, drill the hole for the center bolt then roll the outer ends using a vice & hammer (if you want to get fancy use a torch & a pipe to form the roll) You don't need to worry about the inside lips, the u-bolts will be positioned and held in place by the outer lips.

FWIW, I have a 70 & 71, both 3/4 ton 4wd's, neither have those plates, the u-bolts go directly around the spring pack. Don't know if that's factory or not, just the way they came to me.

I just bought a pair of those from LMC about 6 weeks ago for my 71 K/10. Weird they are unavailable now?

Id bet a spring shop can get them.

I have a good used set that I would sell. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks.

Thanks all for the replies.

I contacted LMC and they said that they lost their supplier for this part, and didn't know when it will be available again.
