Correction: I am looking for the D2 bolts

The installation hardware gallery provides u-bolt details. The installation of the unique d2, long u-bolt is shown in the gallery. The leg with the longer round-bolt section is on the inside of the frame allowing the sleeve frame spacer to be used. Also shown is the outside face view of the two d2 u-bolts with dashed red lines showing the inside legs. The long d1 and the medium d1 u-bolts had both inside and outside legs identical. The three d3 u-bolts are also shown in the gallery. These u-bolts contained no manufacturing identifications or Ford script. U-bolt designs are described in the identification table below.
The long AA-88052 cross bar was used for all u-bolts with full width frames through about June 1928. As early as April 1928 the side members were clipped at the rear. Consequently, the short AA-88054 cross bar was used for the rear u-bolts. There were two hex nuts and lock washers used to tighten the cross bar and secure the platform to the frame.
