Driveline Bolts

[rustystud]

Does anyone have a good source for the Driveline Flange Bolts ? They are Grade 8 1/2" X 1.5" Fine Thread with a 5/8" shoulder. I tried all the bolt supply places here in the Seattle area and the cheapest I could find them for was $4.00 each minimum order of 100 .
Thanks.

HI I may have some how many do you need have hardware store here that would have them too.
I am guessing they are for a deuce?

Have you tried a drivetrain shop for larger truck? You might convince one of them to sell a few.

I don't think that they have them, since L=1-1/2" normally come fully threaded.
But you can order their L=2" bolts (#91257A748 ) or (#91286A373), and cut off 1/2".

Check with a driveline/driveshaft shop. They probably get them by the case lot.

There is a driveline repair shop downtown, I didn't even think about that Thanks !

Well I tried the driveline shops. No go, they said they where obsolete . So I went to "White Owl" and they came through. Almost $3.00 a bolt, but better then nothing !

When you put things back together, you should use new nuts, this is the proper one. It is a one-time use item, but will not allow vibration to loosen the bolts.

If the link does'nt work, it's Fastenal part #38084

If Fastenal has the correct nuts, would they also have the correct bolts to match? For scarce heavy duty hardware, I have found some items at our local John Deere sales/parts/service store. Just a thought.

Something else to add. Here is a link to an outfit that can supply all kinds of stuff, or at least provide info about various NSN items. This link is for the driveline bolts, NSN# 5306-00-752-1001

I've talked to the guys at ISO parts and they don't like dealing with small quantities. Maybe your luck will be better but they deal in volume to the governments (ours and others).

I went with a fine thread Grade 8 bolt/nut and 2 Nord-Lock washers for each driveline bolt. Nothing compares to them (double nut, nyloc, binx, lock washer, etc). Everything else will loosen over time. They don't.

I have seen those. Expensive but they do work. I have had excellent luck with all steel peened lock nuts more than nylock nuts or split lock washers.

Thanks "SP5", those look to be great high quality locking nuts.
