First Gen Access Cab Rear Seat Bolt Size

Hey all, hope you’re all doing well. Recently had my rear seats out to run some speaker wire. Had to take the panel off which gives access to the wiring harness to the rear door, so I could run some wire through the boots into the rear doors. Anyway, when I went to go put everything back, I went to tighten down the 5 bolts for the rear seat, and the head of one of the bolts sheared off. Might or might not have paid attention to what I was doing. Was wondering if anyone here happened to know the size of of these 5 bolts. I know they’re 12mm, but I don’t know the bolt length and thread size. Any help would be appreciated. I don’t think they would chance the sizes up over the 6 year production, but my truck is a 2004 just in case. Thanks!

***Also, the bolt that snapped was the bolt right next to the other mounting bolt on the driver’s side, so is it even necessary to replace?

 

Take a good bolt to a local hardware store with a bolt bin. They should have a thread sizer/finder there, and purchase a replacement bolt.

If memory serves, those bolts are M8x1.25. Can't remember the length.

 

I bought a tool called Thread Checker. Metric stuff drives me nuts and it's expensive. I used it this week.

 

Metric hardware is no different than SAE. Length, diameter, thread pitch, and grade. Just about any hardware store will have what you need. Take a sample with you. A pitch gauge is good to have in you box of tools, along with a set of digital calipers.
