What's the approx. pricing you guys are seeing for new u-bolts with nuts and washers? I bought some about 7 years ago and I'm sure they were under $50 for the set of 4. I called the dealer today to ask and yeah: a week's wait and $37.50 EACH. No thanks. So I call the same spring shop I used 7 years ago: $25 EACH
$100 for 4 u-bolts and nuts??? That is, to me, ridiculous.

What are the dimensions you need? You can find them online for probably about $8-$10 each for cheapo's. A good set will usually cost you $65 and up.

The last set I bought cost $89 new. It's holding my axle on, so I considered it good insurance.

$40 is more about what I'd expect. I know they are important, but they are after all just some rod that's bent and threaded.
I have a regular 1/2 ton 2wd, 12 bolt so probably the same dimensions as your 74, Vile. But I'll go in the garage and measure them up anyway since it's good to know these things.
