Sacramento Vintage has a full cab mount bolt kit that's pretty reasonable. Just a fine-thread bolt at the hardware store that's long enough to double-nut would be fine, too. You could go Grade 8 if you want to be bulletproof. Any used ones will be trashed. That's a muddy, soggy place for a bolt to live for 50 years.

Is this for one of your COE's? My F-1 link bolts don't have a shoulder, as I recall.

I recently tore a part an F5 and an F6 and both rear link bolt weren't raised. From what I remember, only the front cab mount bolts were raised.
A regular bolt should do.

Look for a shoulder bolt on the McMaster-Carr website. They will most likely have what you need.

I used nylon lock nuts on the ones in my 48/51 F-4, avoided the double nut or cotter pin.
