    Okay guys and gals, next broken part discovered. The lower U-bolt plate under the rear axle, right side... the female threaded "tube" that the shock absorber bolts to is half as long as it was, apparently broken off some time back. I replaced the leaf springs and now shackles. The shocks maybe had some life in them, but were pretty beat up so I purchased a set. Installing the new ones, I found the lower mount broken, so I need the plate. Anyone know where I can get one? I've been searching online without success. I'd be happy with a used one from a parts truck if not rusty, or new depending on price. Thanks in advance.

    Found it. It's actually called a "Leaf Spring Plate", which is why I couldn't find it initially. No replies necessary. Thanks for looking.

    zjdietz, That's it. I found it probably just as you were replying. Thank you.
