Leaf Spring Center Bolt Size?
I have a 70 F100, short wb, 2wd, flare side. Does anyone know what size the rear leaf spring center bolts are? All of the websites I have been able to find just list a bunch of generic sized bolts. I suspect either 5/16" or 3/8".

The bolt has a width of 3/8 of inch, with 24 threads per inch. The head size for English-SAE sized fasteners is not made for metric but some can be used as they are sometimes more precise if the head is stripped.

Rich and Pat, I found grade 8 replacement bolts at Home Depot of all places. I really appreciate the help. This really is the best forum.
for the record my truck has the same bolts on the shackle and hanger.
Thanks everyone!! Pogo
