Size of bed bolts
 

Anyone know the approx size/length needed for bed bolts for a GMC long-bed? Mine were all rusted and tossed about a year ago, and I'm getting ready to put the bed back on for long-term storage.

Any/all help is appreciated :).

Cheers!

Check out the Mar-K website. They have complete bed hardware kits that are reasonably priced.

Was looking to grab them from the local hardware store as they have a great selection.

This may help. Left side is for the strips, right side is for wheel tubs and bed bolts (but bed bolts are longer). You don't really need a measurement, just get them long enough to go through the wood and the cross sill.

Just got the bed on. I'll measure now that it's on for depth and get the right length. Just thought someone might have the info handy already :).

Thanks for the pics/advice everyone.
