I wish I remember what sizes the bolts I used were. I went to my local hardware store and bought some carriage bolts. I think that i used (2) 6", (4) 10" and (2) 12", but im not exactly sure. I dont know if those are the lengths that gm used from the factory or not. I bought 4 of each bolt, and just picked from what I had when I put it all together.

LMC offered great prices and correct fits. I went with them when getting parts for my '69.

yea its like $30 on LMC and i dont wanna wait for it to ship, my landlord *****ed me out and said he was goign to kick my ass and throw me out the window for having a blow up pool in the parking lot, so i took it down, but theres no rule against putting a tarp in your bed and making a pool!
