Question What size bolts in a SWB bed?

Alright guys this maybe a bit of laziness on my part, but I want to make sure I get the right bolts for my bed rather than making 2 or more trips to the hardware store and having to return bolts for the correct sizes. So my question is what is the optimum size bolts for a SWB bed and how many will I need. It appears like I'll need mostly 5/16" bolts x 3/4" long?

The carriage bolts around the edge of the floor?

I used 5/16 x 3/4 inch long and that allowed me enough length to use a flat washer and a lock washer on each under the nut.
