Leaf spring centering bolt. NPD has them .There are two different heights used depending on the application because for example 9 inch rear hipo Mustangs used a taller centering bolt . https://www.npdlink.com/product/bolt-leaf-spring-centering/201888    . https://www.npdlink.com/product/bolt-leaf-spring-centering/201887

I assume your signature car, a 68. Did you look in the library in the 67-68 Mustang Hardware Spreadsheet by application, "Spring, Rear"?
