They are a special bolt with a slight shoulder to locate the starter better.As well as having an undersized head for better fit.
irrc 10mm but I would order the correct part # bolt unless you are in a pinch

According to my '93 Dodge Cummins parts book: Cummins part #3903834, 12 point cap screw, M10x1.50x35.

Thank you for the reply I'll see what ace has and call cummins and see what they have and price.

Short ones or long ones? They're spendy, I paid $14 each for long ones to go with my starter spacer. I have a set of short ones around somewhere if your interested.

Thanks for the offer I found Allen head bolts at ace that work perfect called cummins and they wanted 6 bucks apiece these are 35 mm long I also found right after I posted this the cummins quick serve site gives the specs on the bolts to

It's good that you've figured out they're a high grade bolt. When I did my neighbors contacts for him the top bolt had rattled out and I found it on top of the starter (lucky for me). Some blue loctite might be in order when they go back in.

Yes I'm think I'm going to blue loctitite em and the transmission shif tower bolts
