Re: steering box bolt size??
If memory serves they are 12mm, "std" thread for that size. (not sure but I think it's 1.5mm) Something around 120mm long, maybe a bit more. Doesn't matter if they're a little too long.

Special type of bolts. Junkyard pull or dealer only.
They're probably metric but should also be a flanged head, tapered starting thread etc.

Re: steering box bolt size??
Metric bolts started around 1979 for the steering gear.
Home Depot doesn't do metric bolts to suit car applications like that.
GM shows disco. on the bolts. Call a salvage yard. Or hit the classifieds on here.

A place like Fastenal might carry them. Not sure if you have one near you.

Re: steering box bolt size??
For bolts like that unless you want to try to make hardware store bolts work (which you can find at home depot, lowes, ace, tractor supply, etc), as far as I know the only source is used from a car. Junk yard, or used parts dealer. Hawks, third gen ranch, camaro heaven, etc would have them.
I have them. $10 + shipping for the 3 gearbox to frame bolts.

Re: steering box bolt size??
Do you have paypal? If so then just give me your zip code so I can get you a shipping quote, then just send the money through paypal and your name/shipping address and I will mail/ship them right out to you.
I do my very best to do next day after payment shipping and most times depending on location you will get item 2 to 4 days after I ship it out.
