Looking for a little help.

I am looking for bolt sizes for the truck lid, body to frame and hood. Thread pitch, Leith.....

The body was acid dipped to remove all the paint undercoating. Plus I moved, and so far have not found the plastic bag that had each marked. My idea is to possibly use stainless steel bolts.

Thanks

Trevor

Mike,

Thanks for the help

Still digging for the truck and hood bolts

5/16-24 x 1/2" , 5/8, or 3/4" should have you covered for these applications. Length depends if you choose to use lock and/or flat washers. SAE flats are best because they provide a tighter fit and have a smaller shoulder. Pat

Trunk lid, 5/16-24 x 18mm long. So between 5/8 and 3/4" long. Qty:4
Hood, 5/16-24 x 16mm long. So about 5/8" long. Qty:4 Too long and they don't fit.

Parts manual says for all years but I would check carefully if you have a later car. Bolt Depot has the 5/8" length. I bought a bin cabinet and bought all different sizes. They have metric too and some stuff I get from Belmetric.

This may also be of help to you.
