Front U Bolts

I am looking for replacement U bolts for the front of a 55 r120. I havent found on the forums of a vendor list and part numbers. This leads me to believe I just have to have a bolt makers make them?

We got about $300 in rebuilding so far, but need bearings, races, and seals yet. We got the last king pin set Oreilly's had.

I went to a local spring shop and they made mine. I think I waited maybe 15 - 20 minutes and they were done.

I dont think I have a spring shop anywhere near locally. Maybe toledo, columbus, or Cinci. Toledo being the closest. We do have Big Truck shops, But i highly doubt they do little truck stuff.

Do you have a trailer manufacture in your area? They might have what you need.

Re: Front U Bolts

I took my buddy to replace his rear ones, we went to a spring shop, they came out RED HOT they hung em on the old broken one to hand em over.

after they cooled off enough to touch they fit perfect.

The farm store down the road had the rear u bolts, same size used for a trailer.
