Bolts for aux springs
 

Hello all
I bought a set of aux springs for my 72 off the site and they did not come with bolts. Can someone tell me the size of the bolts that go to the frame please.
Thanks K.E.N.

What type of auxillary spring

Re: Bolts for aux springs
 

overload springs under the bed that are bolted to the frame.
I have a long bed with coils and I will be making a long trip in the future. Thought that the extra springs couldn't hurt so I bought them off the board a while back and was going to install them this week. The bolts were not included in the sale.

That's because, IIRC, they were originally riveted to the frame.

Find the best fitting grade 8 bolts you can buy.

Thanks

They ARE bolted to the frame. At least those on my '69 have been since day one. I think the bolts are 1/2" diameter by about 1-1/2". I can't verify the size... at least for a few weeks.

I have those. I just took then off I'll check the sizes in a couple of hours.

Thanks again for the help. K.E.N.

They are 1/2" bolts. 3 are 1/2" x 1-1/4" and 1 is 1/2" x 1-1/2" with a thick washer. Here is a picture

I'll bet the bottom two are 1/2" also.
Thanks to all.
