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?

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

Yep, that's the one!

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.

I've had springs apart a few times and I didn't even recognize it.

Nice job Widegauge!

Correct name is center bolt for the spring, most parts house sell them once bolt the spring together cut off the excess
