By the way, when I had to replace the U-bolts on my rear end (my trucks rear end) I could not find them any where. So I took one of my old ones to a local shop that works on semis, and they made them for me at a reasonable price. It felt more secure, especially after seeing what bad shape the old ones were!

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
