I meant to grab them before I left the house and didn't, and plan on going to the hardware store on the way home.

What size are the bolts for:

Driveshaft to third member - are they 1/4" or 5/16"? Also, 1"-1.25" long?

Thread on U-Bolts that hold the axle to the leaf spring? I bought new U-bolts, and of course, I misplaced the nuts. Tired of looking for the last three that I lost, time to buy new ones.

Thanks in advance!
 
Drive shaft bolts are 5/16-24 but I don't remember the length for sure; 1" should do it though. U-bolts have 3/8-24 threads.
 
I have 5/16 X 24 are actually 1 1/4" long - just measured. In my bag I also have 3/8 bolts that are 1" long - I presume one for back and one for front - don't remember which is which though
 
Don't forget that the nuts for the U-bolts a of a Ny-Lok style.
