Body parts catalog shows a 3/8-16 x 2” bolt with lock and flat washers.

Those seat bolts pass through the body mounts into the frame, so be careful the rubber
biscuits and a shim or two do not move. Although they are most likely corroded to the body or the frame.

Dan has the correct info. Also be careful that the body mount rubber biscuit and possible
shim(s) do not move, as the bolt passes through the mount and into the frame. Likely
the rubber is corroded and 'fused' to either the body or the frame.
