Question Specs for bed bolts ('79 SWB)?

Wondering if someone can tell me the specs (length and diameter) for the carriage bolts used to attach the bed on my '79 shortbed 2WD fleetside. I'm sure I could figure it out with measuring and trial and error, but it would be great if I didn't have to do that and could just buy what I need the first time. Bed wasn't attached when I bought it and although I don't plan to drive it immediately, it'd be nice to have the bed bolted down when I do.

Found a bolt kit on eBay, but no way am I paying $25 for eight carriage bolts that I can buy in bulk locally for $4/lb! (Especially when it appears two in that kit on eBay are far too short, based on the diagram at LMC:
and an old eBay auction:
Thanks a ton (or at least a half-ton),
Brent
