Bed Mount Bolt Size? Fleetside

Ran off this morning in a rush to get to work and left the bolts on the kitchen counter. How long are the 8 bolts that mount the bed rails to the frame? Thinking 3 1/2 should do to be safe but wanted to make sure before I go by the hardware store on the way home...

I think you could get by with shorter ones.

Re: Bed Mount Bolt Size? Fleetside

5" by what size? 3/8?? Or 1/2 inch
My bed does not have the correct size
Ready to bolt if back down and would like the right size when I do.
