Hi,
What size are the bolts for the rear upper and lower control arms? I'm going to go to a hardware store and need to know the bolt sizes. If anyone knows the bolt size for the rear shocks to, that would be great. This is a '69 Chevelle as well. Thanks for any help.

Hardware store bolts for your suspension ?

Mike,
You think I shouldn't? If you think I should try AMK products, I will give it a try, but can't seem to find the bolts for the rear suspension.

Your bolts arn't that special if there US made.
Believe 3 -1/2-13x3 3/4 and 1 1/2-13x3 7/8 per side for the contol arms.
I'd not trust the local hardware store to have some decent USA made Gr8 bolts and not be selling the Chinese crap that's passing for Gr8 -most can't pass the Gr2 rating.

Mike,
I'm just trying to get it to be a roller, so I can get it on a trailer and get it to my brother's garage. I know how important the suspension is, so these won't be permanent. I think the place is called Fastenal. It's out of town though.
Thanks,
Ethan
If that's the case and your just trailering it ,use 1/2-13 all thread with couple nuts.
Length and grade arn't important for just moving it around .
