I don't know. What's weird is that in the 1963-1968 Dodge Truck parts manual, they show the same part number for the 10.5" U bolts and list them for both front and rear. No other dimensions or part numbers listed for any other U bolt size or location, at least not for a WM truck. They don't even list optional U bolts for smaller leaf count springs, at least for a WM truck.
They also list the dimensions for both as: 5/16-18 x 1 13/16" x 10 3/4" But only one in the rear of my truck is close to 10 3/4" long. The others, in the rear, are more like 10 1/2". I was surprised the fronts only measure to 8 1/2".
They obviously aren't 5/16" rod material as listed in parts manual either!
