sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but i didn't know where ells to post
ive swapped out my original diff for a 37 sedan diff as its top leaf mounted and will allow me to lower the truck.
but i am now having a issue finding u bolts as the ones that were on the original diff were square end but the sedan requires round ended u bolts.
so my question is what is the standard length of the u bolts in a 37-38 Chevy 1ton ive measured up how long they need to be and have some out at approximately 8" (i would be more specific but i have issues with imperial measurements) due to the 14 leafs stacked on each other.
any help would be appreciated as i think the last owner might have jammed more leafs in screwing original measurements for me
thank you
jeff

Take your measurements that the ubolts need to be and they can make you up a set. A lot easier than trying to find a vintage set. Had some made for my 39 Truck and they were quite reasonable. Rick G.
