Topic: 3/4 ton front spring eye "bolts"

  Hey guys, I have exhausted my sources for these "bolts"
There are 3 for each spring set. So 6 up front. They are 1 inch in dia. and length of that part is 1.910". The actual bolt through the center is 3.840", which is the actual "bolt" with threads on both ends, (7/16 fine) and a hex formed between the threads and the 1" dia part which is what is actually pressed into the 1" spring eye.
I have tried Mac's, Drake, Benz Spring and others.
Please! No sense having new springs made if we cannot mount them. Trucks are 40 & 41 3/4 ton pu's. Not to be confused with 1/2 ton.

  you need to try Joblot in NY, I think the pieces you are looking for are actually called spring shackle studs, 01Y-5463 3/4 and 1 ton 40-41, 8.95 ea. stud bar 01Y-5468

  Thanks for helping.
Tried Joblot, as well as many others. Each one led to another. Finally found the right parts from "1/2 Ton Fun" in New Jersey.
