Default Help identify this u-bolt

I have a homemade trailer that has these u-bolts attaching the axle to the springs.
Any idea how I can find 3-4 more?
It appears to be 2 5/8" wide and 3 1/2" tall. The spring is 2".

Similar to some Ford spring u-bolts.

Agreed, but which one?
The axle appears to be early Ford front end, with the tie rod ends welded to a straight bar to prevent the spindles from moving.

Okay, those drawings help TREMENDOUSLY
