Cab mount bolts too big?

I ordered a cab mount kit for my truck and the rear bolts are too big to fit in the threaded nut inside the cab. Anybody else have this problem? And what's a way to fix it?

Someone will chime in no doubt with the exact size and length needed. I ordered my kit from GMC Pauls or Classic Heartbeat (not sure which one now). I am sure you can find the correct bolts when you have the size from Tractor Supply or even Lowes.

Mine were rectangular and loose inside a cage sort of thing. I just ground down the sides of a larger bolt and slipped it in the cage. Mine were all boogered up anyway.

Thanks guys. Looks like another trip to Lowe's. Just wish the kit was already made right!
