Was moving my truck at breaktime at work for a parking spot when all of a sudden i hear a bonk or some sound like that. Keep in mind i am 21 and learning alittle about workin on a 64 chevy truck. Anyways i hear the noise and think in my head " i knew i shouldnt have drove my truck today to work!" The rod or something on the control arm broke off. so my truck is hanging down. My truck is at work still. Waiting for my dad to come. So i hope we can fix this soon. frown

The u-bolts are an easy fix. Problem is getting them. Find a local spring and frame shop that works on trucks, they should be able to make some. I'd recommend replacing all 4.

yea its hard to find them. I called the local chevy truck shop but they dont have them. Called a couple salvage places and they have them but they were closing. luckily i have another 64 chevy truck that i just purchased. It isnt running cause i am gonna rebuilted an engine for it so i took one u-bolt off of that. Later i will replace all four for both of my trucks. :)thankyou for replying to my post fred.
