Tailgate hinge bolt size?

[Tito]

Alright, I feel dumb but what does the bolt look like and what size is it that goes in the bottom holding the hinges in?
I tried several of my bolts and it is not the standard 5/16 Bronco bolt and the 3/8 seems too big, is it a specialty bolt? 9/32"?

they are 3/8, try running a 3/8 tap to clean up the therads
