jp-carparts lists it as a 51888 / 51802TA010. My truck didn't come with any so I'm just wondering if anyone knows the thread & bolt size that I can just find at any local hardware store. Is it also just the bolts or some sort of plastic/rubber piece as well? Thanks!
It is a normal hex bolt with a plastic "cup" around it and a washer. It is a standard metric thread.. but I do not have a way to measure it for you.
Thanks rkrenicki, the closeup pic does help! I'll keep trying the random bolts I happen to have around the house haha.
Just in case anyone else is in need of the same bolt. Looks like the size is M6 x 1.0. I rummaged around my misc. bolts till I found a random one that worked. Took it over to Lowe's to get the size & thread pattern. And then rummaged through their sliding "specialty" bolt drawers until I found these: Socket Hd Cap Screw CLass 12.9 - M6-1.00 x 30 - 008236712230 or Button Hd Cap Screw Metric - M6-1.00 x 20 - 038902033093 Nylon Spacers - 5/8 x 1/4 x 3/8 - 008236708363 I bought both the button and socket head but in the end went with the socket head. I bought the 30mm in length because that was all they had, but a shorter one would've worked just as well. I also added some rubber washers between the nylon spacer and the truck I might add another between the bolt and the spacer too to try and get some waterproof-ness to prevent any further rust. Because of rust the new bolt had a hard time installing.
