Recommendations Please - Springs Perch / Shackles and U bolts

[70_440-6Cuda]

As usual my searches came up empty- looking for the correct mounting hardware for 440-6 leaf springs and Dana 60. 

I know I posted about this and got an answer on the front spring perch, but I'll be damned if I can find it - I wish there was a search function for my posts

I am looking for the following factory correct parts to get my leaf springs and rear axle installed, if anyone has suggestions for sourcing them I would be grateful - I find a lot of generic stuff in the Google search, but looking for the "correct" original style

Front and rear leaf spring hangers, shackles and bolts
Dana 60 U bolts and brackets for leaf springs

For the front hangers, I was thinking about just buying the studs, but seems safer to buy the mount in case the holes are worn

I am pretty sure the majority of those parts are the same for all variations of engine and rear axle on the E-body.

A quick look at the 1970 dealer parts book confirms there are only one set of parts in those locations.  I refer to Shackle 17-16-1, Bolt 17-17-4, and Clip 17-15-1.

anyone have a source for accurate repros?

The OER stuff sold by (for example) classic industries are pretty well regarded.

But things like the u-bolts, do not need to be original, in my opinion.

The key thing for me (and maybe for you) is having an example or picture of what the correct part(s) look like.  And if, once restored, painted and installed, if it looks identical to the factory part, then it doesn't much matter to me if that specific part is indeed original.

another thing nice about the parts book, is it shows you which parts were also common to B-bodies, and/or other models, making the search for the part easier.

Roger Gibson / Frank Badalson would probably be able to help.
