I went to the garage and this is what I found:
1) 10mm x 1.5 tap goes into the hole in the spacer.
2) 10mm x 1.5 die will not go onto the bolt.
3) The bolt is about 1 1/4" long. That should be about 30mm.
4) The head on the bolt is 17mm.
5) The head has 8.8 stamped into it.
I'm thinking that if you go to ACE and get a 1 1/4" long 8mm x 1.5 grade 8 bolt it should do the job.

Well, I guess it's not called a starter bolt. Ford can't find it and I am thinking I may have to go to the junk yard. This bolt I need is really a transmission bolt. It holds the transmission, the spacer and the starter together. Does anyone know about this bolt.

Are you needing the bellhousing-to-engine bolts or the two starter mounting bolts? There are 6 total bellhousing mounting bolts - 2 shorter and 4 longer ones. IIRC, they are M12 x 1.75. Unsure of the lengths though.
All of the bolts on your truck are metric. Class 8.8 (Metric) is equivalent to Grade 5 (SAE). Class 10.9 = Grade 8.

when I replaced my starter, I got the one that used 3 bolts (not 2) and used the locktite.
the bolts kept falling out prior to that and I almost lost my starter once... It was dangling by a bolt thread ... literally...
Make sure you clean the bolt holes real good with brake cleaner to get the grease and oil out.. that will help the locktite hold better..
