Ooo ok. I think there's another half moon type deal with threads that goes on top.

Ya there should be 2. One on the bolt head side and the other to thread the bolt into.

I checked a couple parts explosions and couldn't find them either. Try the dealer or hit the junk yard.

Here it is. It's called an anchor swivel. The P/N on the early trucks is UB3934042A.

I tried to finagle one out the other day but it didn't want to come out easy. I didn't have a lot of clearance to work with either so that was probably my problem. I'll try again to snag some in a week or so and let you know if you still need them.

Also, the lower half moon is also called an anchor swivel too - so be careful if you end up ordering a pair or else you might end up with two more lower halves.
