On my 1967 van, the lower bolt that goes through the axle, front shock and sway bar is a 1/2" x 6" Grade 8 bolt. They sell them at Home Depot. I bought two bolts, 2 grade 8 nuts and 4 grade 8 washers for around $7.
I also needed new leaf spring eye bolts. These go through the leaf spring bushings. They are Grade 5 5/8" x 4" bolts factory, I went with Grade 8 for the replacements. Here is the link:

www.autoandtrucksprings.com also looks like they have round and square u-bolts that might work if needed.
