Weed,
Thanks for correcting me. Overload stops makes sense... I just didn't know what the word was.
They are angle iron, and they where welded on... but after they where originally bolted on and one of them had broke. I replaced it with angle iron.
Add to that the fact that there where only 3 holes attaching these to the frame, not the 4 that I've seen with other GM stops of the same era. I wonder if mine originally had overload springs? Either way I'm keeping em and I like it! Thanks for the offer for the "original stops" but mine will work just fine and I don't want to drill more holes through the frame.
The PO of mine halled asphalt and gravel with it after he no longer used it as a grain truck. Now that's a big bolt!
