Radius Arms Bracket Bolts

I recently bought a set of radius arm brackets for my 1994 F150 4x4 off of craigslist, and they did not come with any bolts. Does anybody happen to know the bolt diameter and length of the required bolts so that I can pick some up on my way home from work today? I believe there are two different sizes, and I have had no luck in finding a listing online.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You won't find a listing online, because they're riveted on from the factory. IIRC you want 3/8 bolts (grade 8).

Great thank you. Do I need 6 or 8 of them? At the parts stores they show 4 bolts for each side, but one is larger than the other 3.

Thanks again.

Been a couple years since I changed my radius rod bushings, but IF (and it's a big if) I remember correctly, three bolts on each side are M10, and one is an M12. I think I used a coarse thread, but in this case, the finer the better.

As others have mentioned, SAE bolts would probably do the job just fine...but metric bolts will fit the holes a little better.

Pat nailed it. I did these in May on my 96' (though I've had them off several times prior).
