Rear Leaf spring u-bolts

Ford part number B3D 5705 A

I got this number from the ford parts manuel that i have, but I was wondering if it had been superceded by a newer part number, as I cant seem to find any.
My u- bolts are pretty rusty and I would like to get new ones. These are for the rear leaf springs on a 1966 f250.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Matt

If you have measurements of the Ubolt we can bend some up for you and get them sent out. All our Ubolts are made here in house with Made in USA rods.

Most driveline/driveshaft service shops will make you new u-bolts. You can take them one of your old ones or just give them the measurements. I've had them made several times, they were pretty cheap.

If anyone needs them here's the dimensions of that bolt B3D-5705-A

A = 2.27"
B = 8.75"
C = 5.05"
Thread size = 5/8" - 18

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.
