: 68 rear bumper bolts

Somewhere along the way, when the bumpers were removed from my 68 for paint the bolts magically disappeared... I'm not going to point fingers or anything like that, but I would like to know where to get replacements...

I am unable to find bolt (lengths, size, threads, or other wise) info by searching, and I can't seem to find a bumper bolt "kit" that bolts the brackets to the frame... My front bumper is still attached to the brackets; I imagine those bolts won't be a problem. Probably some 1/2"x2" coarse thread bolts will do.

But the rear however is where my issue lies. Specifically the 2 bolts that go up through the body mounts. How long, and what size are they?

If someone does sell a kit, or individual bolts for this where can I get them?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be shed on the situation.:thumbsup:

Exactly what I was looking for! I just placed my order. Hopefully It's got everything I need. I went ahead and ordered the kit for the front bumper too.

Thanks all!

Well The stuff from AMK showed up today, and the bolts I was specifically worried about aren't in the kit... I guess they must be considered a body mount bolt... I'll have to call them tomorrow I guess... To bad no one knows, I could just buy a couple bolts locally. I doubt they'd tell me on the phone, but it's worth a shot.
