Leaf spring bolt

After driving my "new" 79 K5 the other day I noticed that it was missing the front leaf spring bolt on the drivers side rear leaf spring.

Does anyone know what the size and length that the bolt needs to be? So I can get a replacement. Or should I just order it from a catalog? I would like to drive it again asap.

Re: Leaf spring bolt

The bolt is a course thread, 9/16th, 4.5" long. Go to the hardware store, get a grade 8 bolt, nut, and two washers.
