As in diameter and length?  This is for the 8 holding it down right?

Bolts are 4-1/4".  Long ones should be 6-3/4" longer (frame thickness) giving you 11".





Hope this helps.

Thanks Pugsy! I forget, how many long ones are there? Just two? I ripped the bed off this thing 3 years ago and torched the bolts so I can't remember!

Should be 2 and 6 I believe.I've got 6 shorties on mine due to the fact I have a newer box on an older frame.

Should be one long one.  Typically it is on the drivers side away from the fuel lines.  I have seen them with long ones on both sides though.
