Everything on the truck should be either National Course or National Fine. A thread chaser or tap and die set should let you clean out the threads for new fastener(s). If you identify the part your worried about the Chassis Catalog should identify the bolt, size, and TPI to let you be sure you’ve got it right. Stu

I'm sure, with the knowledge dripping off this website, you can tell us which fastener you're looking at and someone should be able to tell you the thread size and pitch.

I just checked my 62 and they are 3/8-24 welded nuts on the floor. Most every nut and bolt on that truck is fine thread, impossible to find fine thread J-nuts.

I just re-tapped the seat track hold down bolt holes the other day on mine to clean them up. 3/8" x 24 thread.
