mattimuss Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hey All, Does anyone know where I can get a set of rear end u-bolts for my P-12? Andy Bernbaum doesn't have any, they don't know where to get a set, and couldn't recommend an alternate set. So I am trying to find a NOS set, or find a cross number for another car/set. All help greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrampSteer Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I had mine made locally in Santa Ana at a place called Deaver Spring. Any custom size you want. I think it cost me $40 for the rear end (4). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbound Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) My '36-'42 Plymouth Master Parts List book shows part# 633897 for your '41 P12......to help broaden your search, same # listed for: 1936 P1/P2 1937 P3/P4 1938 P5/P6 1939 P7/P8 1940 P9/P10-different part# (858628) 1941 P11-same as 1940 P9/P10 1942 P14C/P14S-same as 1940 P9/P10 & 1941 P11 Trucks show a different part# also As mentioned previously (and I'm sure you probably already know), any u-bolt for your diameter axle will work & can be cut to length. Only difference is, they probably won't have the "flattened" radius as it rounds the axle. I've seen a couple used sets on ebay, just not lately. ***EDIT*** Here are a couple on ebay local to you & look very similar: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Packard-1940s-50s-Rear-Axle-U-Bolt-Shipping-Available-/181557548254?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a45ac54de&vxp=mtr Edited October 18, 2014 by deathbound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_shel_ny Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Measurements in case you do not have any u bolts to look at. EDIT: 1st column Plym. 2nd column Dodge. Edited October 18, 2014 by shel_ny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattimuss Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Thanks everyone for the help, much appreciated! I ended up sand blasting the set I have, painting them, and running a die down each threaded area. They are a little pitted, but the threads cleaned up nicely and I think I'm just going to reuse them. Thanks again! Pick up the rebuilt rear end on Friday. I am also having the drive shaft rebuilt with standard universal joints. I have been claying the body over the last couple weeks. While it won't look like a new paint job it sure looks a lot better. It's starting to come together...who knows, maybe I'll be driving her late this year or early next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
