Bolt Sizes

[Doppleganger]

1985 std cab. Anyone know where one could find the size (size and thread pitch) for cabin bolts? I need them for the dash to A-pillars, and then the bench and seat belts. Some are SAE - some are metric. I can try to fit old bolts but want to know the correct size so I can run a tap through it and clean them up. No idea where all mine went.

4-bench seat bolts
3-seat belts to floor
2-seat belts to shoulder
3-dash to a-pillar
4-body mount boss on cab (1/2-13?)

THX

Someone probably has this memorized. But I’d find one of each that works and then go to the hardware store with a list

I think I've got most figured out - only oddballs now are the seat belt bolts. I actually have all my originals but they dont fit correctly. PO cobbled about everything else so who knows. I do know that the shoulder points are different (metric) and iirc the lap bolts are SAE (in all cars). Crazy.

My 79 the shoulder belt mount on the B pillar is 1/2-13 and the lower mount points on the floor are M12x1.75.

Bench seat should be 3/8-16.

Dash to a pillar? I assume you mean the ones behind the dash that taking them out gets you nothing (since the dash is spot welded in)? 5/16-18.

Cab mounts 1/2-13.

This is all based on my 79, Id expect for the most part for things to be the same for an 85.

Thanks Lego! I'm going to run a tap through the bosses to clean and straighten the threads - the bolt threads (seat belts) are a mess so needed to know for a fact what they are supposed to be.

You da man - thanks again
