Does anyone know what the size/length of bolts to use that hold the front and rear bumper brackets to the frame? Thanks in advance!

The bolt to attach the bumper brackets to the frame are 3/8-14 thread per in by 1 1/4" long. With original serated washers, torque to about 50-60 ft #'s.
FYI

David, are you sure the bolts aren't 1/2"? That's what mine are.

Boy, I'm not having any luck lately with mail order.
I just looked again at the new bolts I just got from Ground Up Restorations, specifically for bumper to frame, they are 3/8 x 1 1/4".
Then, I looked at my bag of bolts that I had from dismanteling everything. Big James, your right, there're 1/2 thread x 1 1/2".
Got to call them Monday.
