Working on rebuilding the front and rear suspension systems and on the rear I need new U-bolts to secure the springs. I would like to use new shackles, although the original ones can be sandblasted and re-used. I cut the U-bolts off since the threads below the nut was pretty obscured by rust and undercoating. Most of the hardware like this that I find from most suppliers looks nothing like the original parts. Most of it is aftermarket for urethane bushings. I've looked at Classic Industries, Tony's Parts, Herb's parts and Year One without much luck. Any suggestions on where to find authentic looking suspension hardware?
 
It looks like they have the right U-bolts and shackles. I have a list of other misc stuff I need to check on also - brake line clips, etc. I have a leaf spring rebuild kit and my front hangers and bolts look good so hopefully I won't find much else I need to replace.

Thanks again.
