Missing that critical piece to your build or resto?

1/2" axle retainer bolt

Postby Justin » Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:48 pm

These are the t-shaped bolts that hold the axle retainer on. In yet another WTF moment this evening I realized that the PO had installed 3/8" retainer studs in the 1/2" holes. Anyone have some or know where I can get some that don't involve shipping? I'm trying to get my truck back on the road for wheeling this weekend.

wow..........that is a wtf moment

I would say if no one on here has them then may be a pull n pay scenario

or, you could just go to Ace Hardware and get some fine threaded (grade 5 or grade 8 ?) 1/2" bolts (for now)

Turns out these things are really hard to find. I called at least 10 places in the Denver area and no one has them. I ended up ordering ordering some used ones from Bronco Hut. Thanks for the leads-at least it gave me a place to start. Zilla, I appreciate the thought. I would have gone out and collected some myself but am really short of time at the moment.
