Steering column upper collar bolts (where to get them?)

I just tore into my column off of my 72 Bronco and found that someone had done some "work" at some point. The 2 bolts that hold the collar to the column are gone and they installed some homemade bolts that don't work very well. I have looked around and am not having much luck. My local wrecking yard was a bust as well. I have a tilt column from a 78 ford van that I was going to tear into to see if it had the same bolts but hate to try it if they are wrong.
As always Thanks in advance!

I went back to JBG and looked and I couldn't find those under the area I was looking. That part number pops right up when I type it in. Not sure what I was doing wrong but I appreciate the help!
Thanks again!

If I try to look it up under manual column they are not there. If I look up the auto column parts they show up. Weird!

My buddy had a 65 or so Ford Galaxie that he is using for parts for another car. I was able to score some bolts from an extra steering column he had. Problem solved!

They look like these, they are a special bolt. They hold the turn signal switch housing to the top of the steering column on the inside.
