Shackle bolts

Hey guys, I am in the process of replacing bushings in my rear leaf springs and Before I start , I need the size of bolts for them. I am the kind of guy that HAS to have ALL the parts ready to go before starting a project. The truck is a 1977 F-150 2wd. I replaced the front suspension with Poly bushings and the bolts that held them in place were pretty rusted and I would suspect these will be no different. Yeah I know. pull one out and check the size. lol Where I live I have to order pretty much everything and sometimes it takes forever to get stuff delivered here. That is why I would like to order what I need now, have them here. THEN start. Thanks, John
