driveshaft bolts

[Justin]

I lost them...And was wondering if I had to use the driveshaft bolts or can I use some other bolts??

mine were always a 6 point head. When I worked at a driveline shop thats what we always sold for them. Always grade 8. be sure to get the proper lenght.

5/16-24 fine thread, grade 8. I think they're about an inch or 1.25" long, and are a 5/16 12-point head. The closest I can easily find besides the originals, is an allen head bolt, but those can be a treat to get a wrench in. You can try a standard hex head bolt, but will probably find it a pain to get a wrench on , as well.
