1965 C10 Front Suspension Question
We are replacing the suspension on my truck ad we bought new crossbars for the control arms and they came with new u-bolt brackets. We bought the rivets for them and we tried that and it didn't work out for us. Has anyone used any other type of fastener for them?

I have not had to replace the LCA shaft saddles, but I would think you might be able to use an allen socket bolt, or a leaf spring center bolt in place of the rivets.

This is correct. Allen socket bolts get the job done.

We tried cap head bolts and the heads interfeered with the crossbar going up into the shackle flush.

Put up a pic of what you're working with if possible.
