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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
