Yeah that's the "normal" standard. 1/4" bolts have a 7/16" head and nut, 3/8" bolts have a 9/16" and a 7/16 bolt has a 5/8". There are possible variations like those 12 point hood latch bolts but these are normal I.D. for buying bolts.

Instead of "tapered" those screws would be called "countersunk" I have an unmolested '70 Jimmy partially tore apart that may provide some info you are wanting on this thread.

The rear seat hold down bolts are a 7/16" fine thread, as well as the seat belt bolts front, rear and the threaded holes in the roof where a shoulder harness was possible.

Great thread!---DAC
