The "factory" bolted ones used a dual "caged" nut for the vertical bolts , and those bolts will both have 15mm heads
The 2 horizontal bolts will also have 15mm heads and a 18mm nut
** You will see chisel marks and or grind marks if the rivets were cut or chiseled off

The brackets on my ‘89 had rivets. I don’t recall what was on the ‘94 Bronco. I didn’t remove the radius arm brackets when I pulled the whole TTB to replace gaskets and all the bushings.
Could be that the later years had bolts but the picture of a ‘95 in post 1
appears to have both bolts and rivets.

My 96 dually are bolted but I am not the original owner to verify, yet I did not see air chisel marks on the brackets unless replaced. The 88 are riveted as are the 92. One I have owned since about 1998 or so, the other around 2022.
Hope it helps
