I am slowly rebuilding a '72 F250 Custom. I've got her running but the exhaust manifold is cracked. I ordered a new one from LMC. The problem is I am missing a few bolts and the rest our sketchy. I would like to replace them all but I don't know the specs of the bolts. I called my local auto store and they have bolts in stock (not for a '72 ford) to try and match up with. Can anyone suggest a solution besides spending $10.00 each at the dealer....

Thanks is advance.

I would take one of the ones you have to a hardware store and have them match you up a few for 50 cents. Grade 5 will do just fine. The hardware store should have a little deal that you can thread your bolt into and it will tell you the size. Hope this helps.

get stainless botls once you get the size of them. they will be easier to remove the next time if that time ever comes.
