No awesome would give you the # and the actual size....

Found these Ford part 55974-S. This has been in use since at least 1973. Current spec for it is 8-18 x 3/4" with a .31 OD in stainless steel or chrome. Alternate part numbers seem to be: WU 55962-S (Stainless), 9416208 (Stainless), 9417986 (S45).

Yeah but I used that drawing to find the 8-18 3/4" info (dipped in wax?), and a supplier here.

Are those drawings I see posted here with parts numbers from the Detroit steel files?

Those drawings are from the Ford master parts catalog for F100-F500 trucks.
They have them but they're proud of them.

Yes AMK is a reputable outfit. I've used them before to source hard to find fasteners and specialty bolts.
