Has anyone seen the rear axle bolt to a mount that is U-bolted to the leaf spring like in the photo?

You all are awesome! That is it, spring seat with rubber bushings. Anyone know where I can get the rubber bushing or other accessories for the spring seat? All the aftermarket vendors I have checked don't show it (LMC, Brothers, Jim Carter, Classic Parts)
The truck is a 54 chevy 1/2 ton | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,275 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,275 | Wow,

The truck is a 54 chevy 1/2 ton You can Revulcanize them (You send in your spring seats and they put in new rubber) at Steele Rubber Pricey. Or press THESE into the Spring Seat cast metal housing. Affordable While you have it all apart you should replace the Rubber Washer Spring Seat Seals. 2 per spring seat. Once you replace the springs seats you have to seat them. Spring Seat seating instructions on page 2, Read "Adjust this type of Seat as follows": Page 1 Page 2First you have to find out if they are bad. Is there any noise or sloppiness in the axle to spring seat connection? | | |
