WTB/WTT GPW-5453 Clip, front right spring to axle housing (AKA U-bolt)

Post by FUBAR » Mon Jul 16, 2018 9:04 am

Hi,

I'm looking for a GPW-5453 Clip, which is the wide U-shaped bolt which holds the front axle to the right front spring. This one is wide because it has to fit over the cast iron end of the axle pumpkin.

If you measure the two legs of the clip, center-to-center, this one will be close to 3-3/8". I'm looking for a Ford-style clip with the flat top, preferably with an "F". I'll be happy to buy one or trade for other GPW parts you might need if I have them.

Thanks! -=BK

I definitely have an unmarked one and likely an f marked but I can’t check till this weekend. PM me if you’re still looking by then.

Here’s what I’ve got. The red one is bent but easily fixed. The takeoff one is straight but the F is not as defined. They’re both $20 each shipped. Let me know which one you want.
