64 rear spring plate

[Boyan B.]

Guys, I'm looking for the plate that goes under the rear leaf spring and is held on by 4 bolts for my 64. I've come across some sellers saying that there was a different bolt pattern for various years up into the 70's. What years will work and be correct for my 64.

P.S. Anyone have an original plate and the 4 bolts?

The bolt pattern itself never changed, but the diameter of the holes did; the bolts were 9/16" from '63 into the late 70's, and changed to 7/16" when the rear spring leaf width changed from 2-1/4" to 2-1/2".

I have an extra plate I would be happy to give you. Just provide me an address. However, it is important to get the correct bolts from the appropriate supplier. If you use one too long and over tighten it, the rear end will leak fluid at a rapid rate (don't ask me how I know)...
