I have dealt with Roy before. Love his stuff. I work for a hardware supplier and was hoping to get these bolts with my discount as I know they are probably a pretty big diameter and length. Not interested in the shipping cost.
Has anyone got the measurements or done this on their own?

the pennies you save ,,allright ,maybe a buck or two is well worth getting the bolts from Roy . he has been a great contact for me and my 39 pic-up build . just the vast knowledge he has on the early fords is worth talking to him , I have learned things I did not know about my truck . . IMHO this hobby/business is all about "connections " with people my bed bolts that came with my new wood blocks are 7/16 dia 4 pcs 3 1/2 long ,4 pcs 8 1/2 long fine thread ,,,,but these could be wrong ,I,ll check with Roy
oh I just read you have dealt with roy befor , hope these measurments help

Yeah Roy is great. I work with him. When you are talking about Carriage bolts that size and shipping, I am saving more than pennies. I buy a lot of stuff from him. Some things you can do cheaper and with my situation thats what I have to do. Ebay is unreliable. I want someone who does restorations to tell me. Thanks guys

The middle two on each side have coach heads but a fine thread and are the right length to go through the cab floor and the wooden spacer and the frame, then have a washer and nut underneath.
The front ones are hex headed, and are longer to allow for a spring underneath. The shaft diameter is stepped so the spring cannot be crushed.
The rear ones are hex headed and extra long to allow for a spring.
Every bolt is quite specific and not a standard coach bolt. Ideally you need a serviceable used set or if Roy has them, buy them from him.
I bolted my 41 cab down so the bolts are not accessible to me now.
Here's a question: does anyone sell the correct springs for cab mounting?
