Front bed panel bolts.

My truck is being painted right now so I can't check the size of the bolts, so I have to ask. What size are the bolts that attach the front bed panel to the bed sides?

Re: Front bed panel bolts.

I think 5/16?
they are the ones that take a 1/2 inch wrench. 2 of them have a captive nut, the rest have a loose nut inside the box.

the top ones are the same as the ones that hold the inner fender to the fender under the hood.

you owe me for having to walk out in the snow to look!

the top 2 on my 61 step bed are the same as in the pic of the fleet above.
the bottom 3 are still a 5/16 bolt and nut, just no flange on the bolt.
