bed bolts

Does anyone have a bed bolt from an 86-93 mazda laying around that they could measure the thread pitch and size of for me? I'm putting a truck together that I didn't take apart and the factory bolts are MIA. If anyone could help a brother out it would be apreciated, thanx.

Never done this before but here goes...bump

Maybe call a dealer? Sorry for the lack of help.

couldnt you just try threading a few different metric bolts into the bed and see which one fits? sometimes specific bolts like that can be hard to buy from the dealer, you could always take some off of another truck.

i had to buy my old ranger bed bolts from the dealer @ 4 a piece. They didnt have the right thread at home depot, lowes or anywhere else i looked.

THE FORD PART# N806251-S301
THESE ARE FOR A RANGER BUT WILLWORK ON MAZDA
THEY LIST FOR $14.80 pc.

Thanx for the help everyone, it is apreciated. I think I am going to drill the holes and Heli coil them to an imperial thread so I can use standard hardware. All the wreckers in this area don't seem to have any mazdas anymore. When scrap hit the roof a while back they went crusher happy on the older stuff, I'm sure alot of the older truck owners are experiencing this problem.

You might want to post on mazdabscene. There are a lot of guy on there from your area that might be able to help you out.

I believe the are the same as the four front bumper bolts, so if you still have those give um a try!

i probably have mine sitting at the house somewhere, and since I don't have my truck anymore, let me know.
