WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

Chasing a good set of U-bolt plates for use on a 14 bolt rear axle for use in a K2500. Thanks.

I may have some but would probably be off a square body does that help.

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

I think those will work. Text sent.

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

Sorry, I don't think mine will work.

Hi Pete, a good friend of mine has a bunch of that stuff laying around at his property. Please send me a picture of what you're looking for and I will forward it to him.

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

No, but thanks for looking Dwayne

It's the top examples on this pic. I really appreciate the help - will make it worth the effort if you can scare up a set. Thank you!

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

are these for your fire truck? you're in the 67-72 section, might get better results in a later model section where 14 bolt were standard ;)

Yessir - I posted over there too :)

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

oops, I didn't look :o

but the bases are loaded so you're bound to score! good luck!

and following your project, nice rig!

Pete here so a pair I have that are nice and solid with minimal pitting on the outside. Sandblast them and the would be fine $65.00 shipped plus PayPal fees if interested let me know thanks ....Jeff

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

Jeff I greatly appreciate you offering those. These are close in condition to what’s now in place. I’m going to keep beating the bushes here for a little bit to see if a pit free set surfaces. Crazy plate design - like a nest designed to hatch rust.

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

I had the rear end roll right out from under a K2500 a couple of years ago. Those thing rusted completely away, and they were always in Arkansas.

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

Pete I understand!! These are actually in good condition for this part of the country!! Thanks

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

I may yet take those. Can't believe the crummy design. I don't want to lose my axle like Larry.

Thanks for digging! So close! Those are 0.25” too small - I need plates for a 3.375” OD axle tube.

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

this measurement?

Side to Side Holes,Center to Center, (3 3/8),"

further down the list, I clicked on the kit and then clicked on description..

hope that helps..

I'm out of practice sizing those items on our trucks, we have an awesome local vendor Betts has everything :)

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

Thanks i will call them to confirm a good fitment. It looks like some kits are available to flip the U bolt that make use of a flat plate across the top of the leaf spring pack that avoids the water and crud accumulation.

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

I may have a set I’ll have to dig

FIRETRUCK!!! What firetruck? I missed something somewhere...

Thanks for the thread info Pete! I had to subscribe....

Re: WTB: U-bolt plates for 14 bolt rear axle
 

Dale you bet. Thanks.

I just received these beefy U bolt flip plates that rest atop the spring pack and allow the bolts to attach from the bottom up. US made.

Thanks all.

Look like they are from RuffStuff. Used them on my truck. Drilling drain holes in the stock u-bolt plates may be a good idea.
