Bed bolt length

Soon I will be removing the totally rusted out,bad bed on my truck. I was looking at the bolts and they are way beyond reusing. I have a 3 inch lift kit and can get the size of the bed bolts,but I was wondering what the correct length would be for them? I am not using the lift and there seems to be 2 different length bolts anyways. I planned to get new ones at Fastenal and was going to just take 3 inches off,but I thought someone here may know the correct length bolts for the standard bolts..For a 1974 F250.
