I was cleaning up my frame and axles for painting and see that the bottom plate for one side of my rear leaf springs is broken. The U-bolts don't look totally healthy either. They look badly rusted where road dirt and moisture have been sitting in the lower plate. Any good source for replacements? U-bolts I am thinking can probably be made up at a suspension shop, but are those plates special to that truck?
