Does anyone know a source for new Rear spring u bolts 1958 Viking 60 two ton? Have any of you changeged these out? While cleaning and painting chassis I realized the road salt and rust have eaten the diameter of them on lower end above the plate to about 3/4 s of original diameter. They look pretty rusted up and fused in place. Maybe quite a challenge

Try your local Semi-truck suspension repair/alignment place. Bet they have them.🛠

Yep, they make them to match while you wait, and should come with new thick hard washers and special tall nuts.

diito on what Martin said. Here, the shop is Gitts springs. Take the old one in for a sample, they bend you new ones while you wait. 8-10$ a piece if I recall. I just had them do 8 for my 1951 travel trailer.
