My guess is that someone has cross threaded the holes that have a factory nut welded behind them and now the bolts don't want to fit. Have you tried to run a 5/16" 18 tap into the welded nut to clean out the threads?
Of course, some of those bolts are just bolts and nuts through blank holes and some have threaded holes - it is a mixture. I could send you some of the old bolts out of one of the beds I have disassembled if that would help you any. Jay

all the holes look like they are threaded. I cant see any way to get behind them to put a nut on them. if you could take a picture of one or send me one I would sure appreciate it.
