Default 1978 rear shock bolt

Hey all. I did some searching around here and couldn't find the info I am after for my 78 project. I need to buy the bolts that fasten the rear shock to the body. All of the chassis bolt kits I've found online only go up to 73. Any help that anyone could point me towards what or where to buy these would be much appreciated.

thanks

They're just plain old bolts with lockwashers about 3/4" long. Not positive, but if memory serves me they're 5/16" NC, but might be 3/8" NC.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I just got back from a motorcycle trip. I haven't put them on yet. I just tried to fit the bolt in the hole. While I was away, my order from NPD came in. I'm planning on rebuilding the rear brakes today, finish installing the slide a links, replace the rear top and bottom spring bushings and installing those shocks.
