Default Re: Bolts for Pickup Box to Frame (1939)

Since the other pieces were off we proceeded to remove the bed bolts as well. Wish we had never done this as the pickup, although being very abused, was mostly original. I have a repro bed with the inaccurate wood floor instead of steel per my wishes but still have one side of those original bolts. Front most is a long carriage bolt while the rest have the taper top with the square indentation for tightening, all fine thread. Hope this helps.
Could I get just a picture of the head of the "other" bolt, they appear to be a "bucket tooth" bolt???? AND how far is the 8-1/2 carriage head bolt threaded??? about 1-1/2"'s or just shy??
