A source for the actual bolts? When I did my Scrambler, I got most of mine at Fastenal. Grade 8

We have our FSM for the 67 impala on CD as well as paper. I find I prefer the paper. Easier to use in the garage. Otherwise I just print the pages I need and get them oily and toss them when done. I do not have a laptop to use out there and get dirty.

Yeah that's best. Someone had a site for the manual and I was going to print one out, but I lost it.

When I took apart my frame many of my bolts had sheared. I tried to keep sorted what went where. I’m getting ready to bolt the spring hangers to the frame. I have all new bolts. I think they are 7/16 but they seem tight. Does anyone know before I try and chase the thread and ruin them?

The spring shackle bolts are 7/16-14x1. I have seen a lot of guys break those front spring shackles after wheeling with aftermarket springs right where the clearance hole is for the rivet. So I would have to suggest an aftermarket shackle or weld in some gussets to hold them together.

Thanks. I chased the threads and loosely bolted up for now. The rear bolt is a little longer original I think as this is where the trailer hitch mounted best I can recall. New shackles and pivot bolt also loosely in place
