1941 Shock Mounting Bolts - Size, Grade and Source?
 

1941 Ford 1/2 Ton Pickup.

Want to verify, and check for source on front shock mount bolts. Mine are missing, but it looks like maybe a 7/16" x 1-1.2 inch carriage bolt. Would that be correct?

Should be Grade 5 or 8?

Does anyone know a source that is not a box of 50? Restoration parts houses don't list them online and big box stores do not seem to carry this size?

Thanks,

I imagine they may be available. (Roy Nacewitz?). Funny enough I found some good quality 7/16 UNF carraige style bolts here in the UK. They have a massey Ferguson logo on them. Try doing a search on ebay. If no-one chips in with a known source of the proper parts, you might find some generic parts like I did. Prior to that I had improvised by using some modified wheel studs.

Mart.

Second that on Roy. Fordscript.com I believe. Good guy. Give him a call or have someone check the bible - might be in there.
