  Looking for a supplier for original type rear spring U-Bolts to be used on a 1940 Ford Convertible. This rear spring has 10 leaves.
Thanks,
Stanley

  Stanley,
The U-bolts you seek are not reproduced. However, they are not all that rare either so you should be able to locate a pair without too much trouble.

I might suggest Dennis Carpenter's NOS parts department as well as Mike Driskell. Mike can be reached through eBay. His seller's name is 1935fordtn. Carpenter's can be reached by phone, 704-786-8180
Let me know how you fare with those two suppliers.
Hope this helps,
Mike "Kube" Kubarth

  Mike,
Thank you for the two leads for U-Bolts. I started with Dennis Carpenter and they have NOS U-Bolts in stock. Doug was very helpful in making sure that he would send the correct U-Bolts . They arrived and are the correct U-Bolts. Thank you for your help,
Stanley
