All trucks have these. They might not be identical, but very very similar...and serve the same purpose. What is it?

It is a bolt with a specific purpose that I do not know. I assume I do not win? :D

Spring bolt, holds the spring leaves in the rear together and locates the rear axle.

Yep, that's the one! :thup: :clap: I took that picture yesterday when disassembling some spring packs, that one's from a '67 F250 Camper Special spring pack with 8 leaves. The F100 bolts with a 5-leaf spring pack will be shorter.
