WTB: Bolts to install Bucket Seats

Looking to buy OEM bolts to install bucket seats : for mounting brackets to the floor and for mounting seats to the brackets.
Think I need about 20 total but not sure. Going to be using the under floor brackets from Roger Koop.
Advice also welcome. Thanks

Larry,
Once you find the correct bolt post a pic of it. I have several hundred bolts from all the trucks I part. It ha to be used somewhere else on the truck too. Surly I have what you need. I just don't know the correct one for that application. I'll be out of the country for a week but if you don't need them quickly the price will be shipping cost. Merry christmas!

Re: WTB: Bolts to install Bucket Seats

The bolts I've seen are the standard 5/16" diameter encapsulated washer bolt that you can find all over the trucks. The problem is that the rear drivers side bolts need to be longer than the standard 1-1/4" since the seat bracket is a little thicker at the back.

I'm not aware of any place the 2" x 5/16" bolts are used as a standard on the trucks.

Thanks for the info, I'm thinking they are the same bolts used for the bench seat to attach to the floor, except for the longer ones you mentioned.

Mike, I think 29od1 is right, the common bolts in the attached picture are what I need. These have a 1/2" hex head and the longest one pictured is 1 and 1/8 inch in length. When you get time after your trip, check and see if you have some of these, maybe 35 or 40 in different lengths. And some longer that mine if possible. Thanks
P.S. I also posted for some seat bracket hardware , maybe check if you have any of that stuff too.

Larry,
Sorry for the slow response.
I'll have you a picture tomorrow.
I have a 5 gallon bucket of bolts still to look through.
Cheers

Re: WTB: Bolts to install Bucket Seats

Well I went through my containers! (I'm a little intimidated by the bucket)
I found a few of these bolts that seems to be a little longer. If this is ok ill dog some more out and get you a small FRB of bolts and include 2-4 of these longer ones. Let me know if that fits your needs.

Mike,
That looks great, thanks.
I really appreciate your help. Hope I can return the favor sometime.
I'll send you some cash when you let me know how much.

Larry,
I'll load that box tomorrow. I've had a bad week. Wheel hub on the 2007 Sierra AWD went out and decentigrated yesterday. Aside from the cost, I also got the pesky check engine light tracked down and corrected.
