some bolt length questions

[qksilver]

I am piecing a truck together so i can transport the all parts at one time.
I am bolting the fleetside bed, cab and a front clip to a rolling frame.

I am going to use 2x4 blocks for the cab and core support mounts by drilling holes thru them and using them between the frame and body mounts.

I pretty much got rid of my buckets with bolts , so I need approximate lengths of the bolts used to secure the front & rear part of the bed, cab mounts and core support. the two by four blocks i am using are very close to the thickness of the rubber mounts. If I was in perfect shape and could run back and forth to the hardware store this could be done.

If possible a close measurement would save the bending, twisting, kneeling and the worst, trying to get back up off the floor!

thanks,
Steve

The rear cabs are 7/16" x 6" if you have a 1/2 ton and 7/16" x 8" if you have a 3/4 ton. The front cabs are either 1/2" or 9/16" x 6".... For what you are doing you could use 7/16" by 6" for the front cab mounts too, just put some bigger diameter washers on them. All of the bed bolts are 3/8" x 4" carriage bolts but you would only need four of them for your temporary application. The core support bolts are 3/8" x 4" (I think), maybe longer for the '69-'72.
