    u-bolts for u-joints? Empty u-bolts for u-joints?

    Post by Drew Peacock Mon Nov 04, 2013 8:14 am

    I replaced the two u-joints on the driveshaft last weekend and in the course of doing so, the two u-bolts holding the front together came off and went on OK. The rear got stripped and i had to go with 4 grade 8 bolts and a strap to get it all back together. MACs auto and the NAPA and Autozone all have u-bolts that are too large for the hols in the rear yoke. They are really small, perhaps 3/8th diameter? Its a 1967 econoline. All of the u-bolts ive gotten and seen are 1/4 and too large. Where go i get teh proper u-botls? Thanks
