Quick Body Bolt Question

[BroncGuy7710]

Howdy, i removed my rear body bolts this weekend to colt down my new Tool box. Turns out (surprise, surprise) they were no longer bolts, just shafts of pure rust. I am wondering what the dimensions of the Stock rear body bolts were on a 77? I need to replace mine (obviously) and can't even measure my old ones, they just crumbled.

Thanks alot,
Tyler

Sounds like it's time to get a kit to replace all of the bolts. I think JBG sells them and possibly other vendors might also sell them. You should be able to measure them with just about anything that you can stick down into the hole. (A pencil for instance) Dont forget to include the body mount in your measurement.

Here's one I pulled from behind my seat. There'll all the same (pretty sure).
Not sure of the thread size, it's course and takes a 9/16" socket for the bolt head and a fitting nut. That should help you find em at a hardware store and save the time and shipping $$ from the bronco houses.

Something to consider: If your bolts are that funky, your mounts probably are on their way out also. You can get a very good deal on the mounts and hardware from most all of the vendors. Give it a think...

PS - this is a sub $100 parts buyout for this project.
