Re: '52 chevy bed bolt question

Well I do see that they actually do list 9/16 bolts but they aren't something that is normally used in automotive use. If you are around heavy construction you may see them. That is still too large for holding the bed down. Some grade 2 or 5 3/8 bolts are fine for that as the stock bolts are grade 2 carriage bolts.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
