Does anyone know the thread and pitch of the lower column bracket? I seem to be missing mine.

I will check for sure but off the top of my head I will say 5/16-18. Looking from the front of the truck the bolt on the right is 3/4" long and the bolt on the left is 1 1/2" long. The reason the left one is longer is because the threaded hole for it isn't in the firewall but in the interior support brace, and on PS trucks it has to go through the booster bracket. There is also a 1" diameter integral washer on the bolts. A 5/16-18 bolt about 1 1/2" long will work for the clamp. There are some small differences between the years but that will get you in the ball park.

I edited my previous post and added more info. Basically the only thing I had wrong was the long bolt is 1 1/2 inches long instead of 1 1/4". I guess I haven't completely lost my mind....
