Yes you will, the ubolt isn't threaded far enough. I just went to the Chevy parts counter and told them what I wanted. It was 5ish years ago I believe they were 40.

go to hardware store by box of flat washers and fill the space (real cheap option and kinda funky looking but it works)

Why'd you delete that post?! Even though it was a bit unrelated, that is good to know about the differences in the ext housings.
