bolt size - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dantimdad · 09-13-2012, 11:16 PM

I broke all four bolts removing the rear shocks and, not thinking, I threw them away.

Does anyone know what size bolts these are? I don't wanna just guess or take a shock and see what fits. I want to get the proper sized bolts.

Thanks,
Steven

IIRC there are 1/2"

I think the factory style bolts have a built on shoulder. They are half inch thread but the shoulder is slightly larger. Whatever you do, make sure the bolt fits snug in the hole. You don't want any slop that can oblong the shock bushing or the hole in the shock bracket.

Is this what you need? NOTE: shoulder! 5" x 1/2"-20?

Maybe I'm lost here but a 5" bolt is to long, it should be around 2.5" long.

You know, I agree. Maybe they meant 2.5 inches? (one I found was at NAPA)
