The inside spare tire carrier bolts are 7/16"-20 x 1" long grade 5, zinc plated. They also used a star washer. Wales Beech was the OE supplier.

For the time being, any good industrial supply company will sell that bolt in those specs until you can locate a OEM bolt, and have them restored. Fortunately, they are very easy to access after removing the spare tire.
