Leafspring center pin size?

Does anybody know the correct size of center pin for the leafsprings in my 82 C10? I bought some from cheap ones from Mexico a few years ago, but they don't seem to hold up very well. I can't remember the size. I would measure, but my truck is at a friend's shop right now.

the head is .560. Did you want that or the bolt size? I just used a grade 8 cap head bolt, when I needed a longer set. Worked perfect.

My bad, I forgot to check this thread. I ended up just ordering a few different sets since I didn't know what size hole the new leafspring perches were gonna have. Turns out 1/2" bolt is the one that fits the closest for these particular perches(Mopar).
