Missing bolts where to get?

[MrWinkey]

I'm missing 1 bolt from when I put the truck back together. It's the bolt that holds the U-joints in place. I borrowed one off the other truck and tried the junk yard already. They dont have any that will work in my truck (big axles get taken quickly)



So where is the best place to buy the special headed bolts that hold in the U-joint caps.

You can buy a u-joint strap and bolt kit from any parts store, I bought two sets from napa recently about $5 each, or take a bolt in and match it up with the bolts in the nuts and bolts bin, although you won't find one with the 5/16" head only an allen head. Don't know if their grade 8 like the ones in the kits. Or a powertrain HD shop will have one maybe, I had to reuse the old genuine spicer straps cause the napa kit straps didn't fit as tight, but I used the new bolts from the kit. Those little 5/16" bolts should be replaced if they are original and have some miles on them, they stretch, plus the head gets nice and rounded off, and can be tough to remove next time.
