Size of lower shock bolts

I was under my truck last night and saw the front passenger shock bolt was missing. I was wondering if anyone knew the size of the bolts so I dont have to take the left side off and bring it to the hardware store. Id rather just get the bolts and pop it back on.....Its a 72 Longbed 350

1/2 by 3 inches. Use grade 8 and locking nut if available, lock washer if not. I also use a flat washer on each side but not a must.
