Hello

I have a new bed for my truck; Unfortunately the existing one is held
on by bolts that are seized and will need to be cut off.

Does anyone know what the size of the bolts are that hold the bed onto
the truck? I want to head to the fastener store before doing the
swap.

FYI it's an 89 S10, SB. I believe it's a metric bolt since a 15mm
socket fits them exactly.

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows.

probably M10 x 1.5 - 10 mm diameter, 1.5 mm per thread (metric threads
are numbered by mm per thread, US bolts by threads per inch)

Yup. It's a M10x1.5. Bought new bolts & a tap, tapped out the dirty
threads (with no effort) and now the bolts mesh perfectly.

Thanks
