Then u-bolts should be replaced if ever removed, may not be original either. U-bolts in my mind are an item that you measure and purchase to fit the situation, not to try and match any one else's truck. Too many possibilities and variations exist.

But as Grigg says better safe than sorry. Mark 1952 GMC 9430 one ton pickup, a work in progress 1952 1-ton pictures on Photobucket
