What size Carriage bolt is it? 3/8" ? The head of the carriage bolt looks wider than standard, what is it's diameter. The wing nut looks like the wing nut that holds the air cleaner on the stud.

it is a 5/16 carriage bolt. I am also enclosing a picture of ,I don't know what to call it. It was used to fill one of those 7/8" holes in the rad support of a 62 GMC. must have been an orig installation by looks of it. it is 1 3/16" dia. perhaps you can find it in a parts book .

That resembles a replacement frost plug without the rubber.

didn't know where else to put it and to grab your attention as I knew that you would more than likely investigate it. wouldn't have been used as a frost plug replacement as no way of sealing it. Besides one would just drive in another frost plug, wouldn't they

I was talking truck though

That's heavier duty than I've seen so far. Do you remember the year and make you removed that from?

There were aftermarket frost plugs that simply slid into place and then you tightened the center screw to compress the rubber washer to seal the opening, similar to the block heaters.

I remember the block heaters and how they mounted as I installed quite a few of them, but they did have a way to seal better than this would

Looks like my '66 gmc has the tracks.

If I remember correctly, a standard 5/16" step bolt will work to anchor the seats, in a Suburban that has the fixed anchor plates.

Looks like yours is Vinyl-backed just like the one posted above (Which I still have)

Step Bolt. You can see the difference from a carriage bolt.
Thank you once again Captainfab

the tracks work the same as the cleats I.E. that they use a carriage bolt type mount but the benefit is you can slide the seat forwards and back reverse it ect. The tracks work like the tie downs in a toy hauler. I have a 64 GMC with the tracks, unfortunately my seat is out of Chevy and the rails don't line up with the tracks.
