Didn't see any tapered bolts, flare head bolts, or flare washers on my truck. Just standard hex head bolts & nuts with flat washers.
Thanks Stocker.

These dust boots are super thin. I pulled my A/C in 1993 and packed everything away. Only the dust boot sucks, I mean blows.

Thanks Engineer. No big, I'm just curious is all. At a glance, these aren't available new. Probably cuz they're worthless. I'm mostly curious whether or not yours has shims, like the first image above.
