Info on interior bolts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1970blazin · 10-25-2003, 12:20 PM

I am trying to put together the interior on my blazer, but my husband was the one who took it apart....and of course doesn't "really" remember what size bolt goes where. Does anyone have a picture of a diagram or list that shows what size all the bolts are for the seat bolt down, cargo panels, sill plates, how the seatbelts bolt on the back seat...ect. ect. I am probably going to go to the store and get new stainless bolts, and want to get the right type and size. Thanks for ANY info.

Well, as you know, I'm trying to figure out what size bolts to use on my rear seat too! I used #14 screws for my door panels with the chrome rings, but I think the screws were stripped out and #10 or #12's were the correct size. I have seen an "interior screw set" for sale on e-bay. It is suppose to be all the screws needed for the cab of a pick-up. PickupsNW.com has sets for the door panels etc, so I'm sure all the vendors in the Olympia area have something or can put a set together.

The seat clamp hold down bolts use a 5/8" wrench
7/16" diameter fine thread

I have an interior bolt set, but it came with the wrong visor screws..ones for truck, and the rest of the screws were dash pad, glovebox, door panels and sill plate I think. I don't want to order a kit because I want stainless bolts and my husband gets a discount at Tacoma Screw and thinks he can get the bolts we need pretty decent priced, I just can't get him motivated (or enough time) to go out and figure out what bolts to buy. I was hoping someone had a diagram or list that told what size and type bolt went were. I looked thru LMC, but they only sell the bolts, they don't list what size.

If you have a tap and die set, all you have to do is keep running taps through the receiver holes until you find the right size. The size/thread count will be marked on the tap. Just don't force it, or you may be re-threading the hole. I have used this method with success on several occasions.
