    Hello, I got this 02 tundra with 100k on it. Only issue with it is it was missing the front leaf spring bolt’s nut. I can’t seem to find it on the parts diagram. Anyone know the size of the nut or have a part number for it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    If you have a way to safely jack up the truck and remove the bolt, then heading to the hardware store and getting a washer and nut that match the thread pattern is probably your best bed to get back on the road in the short term. I bet your local Toyota dealer could help you out as well

    If it were me I'd find something to reference the general size (pinky finger or another bolt) to get something to compare to, then go to the store and "bracket" the size by buying the size I think it is, and also the next sizes smaller and larger. Unless the bolt isn't original, you know it will be metric. I'd also check the bolt head for a grade stamp and ensure to buy the same grade nut. There's also a washer that needs to go with that as well.

    If the truck is sitting take the nut off the other side and hit the hardware store

    yes, it is 14mm x 1.5 thread pitch
    I pulled the nut off and checked it
    The head of the nut is 19mm but i am pretty sure any parts house 14mm will be a 21mm head.
