The Ford website is down, so I cannot tell if the following are still available from Ford...or not.

I'll edit the info in when the website wakes up. Over 50 US Ford dealers have both available.

E5TZ-5775-D .. Shackle Bracket-Rear Spring FRONT

1985/91 F250/350 4WD with Sterling 10.25" rear axle / Misc: 1992/96 F250/350 / 1997 F250 H/D & F350.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EOTZ-5775-C .. Shackle Bracket-Rear Spring REAR

Misc: 1980/96 F150/350 2WD/4WD & Bronco / 1997 F250 H/D & F350.

U-bolts: Does your truck have an auxiliary spring? Is it a Regular, Super or Crew Cab?

We have a few hundred of those plates in stock and we can make any Ubolt you need. Feel free to send me a message and I can get you all set up.

It was probably discontinued at least 20 years ago... but dealers who have them and didn't return them are stuck with them, and Bill says there are at least 50 such dealers. NOS vendors might have some, too.
