Default Factory rails or steps bolt size.

Anyone know the size of the rear bolt to mount the rails or steps. This is the threaded hole in the body. Thanks in advance.

I don't recall the size, but it was sort of an odd size the the auto stores and big box stores didn't carry.

I found mine a local ACE hardware that truly has the best hardware selection around. Best bet would be to take the bolt in with you and see if they have a thread gauge and can help you match it.

If you don't have a good hardware store around and your in a pinch PM and i'll try to stop by mine to match it again - they have crappy hours though so I'm not sure if i'll be able to get there before the weekend.

M8x1.25x30mm body bolts

I got some at Pep Boys, but I've also seen them at Lowes.
