Proper cab bolts?

Does anyone know what length and thread pitch the cab bolts should be for my 97 crew cab ? The 2 rear bolts don't have nuts on them. And one of them isn't even long enough to put a not on ! My suspicions of this truck being a "get it done so it looks good and sell it" project are becoming more clear everyday. As I find out things like this. No nuts on the cab bolts. One isn't even long enough. The dash was tan , and a few other hints

7/16". Not sure on length. Just pull one of each and measure them.

FYI, there is not supposed to be a lot sticking thru the mount. MAYBE a thread or 2

I don't know the answer to your question, but will help with a bump...

...because i'll be replacing my cab mounts soon and want to get replacement bolts before i start the job as it seems almost certain they'll have to be cut out. if no one comes along with the answer you're looking for, but you wind up figuring it out yourself, i'd certainly appreciate it if you can post your findings on screw diameter and length. 7/16 looks right, but i've never confirmed for myself.
