Brushguard bolt size

[Jamison]

I received a brushguard from a member (thanks again Jon) and have no idea what the bolt sizes are. The ones that mount it to the frame. Can anybody help?? TIA

I think they are 3/8-16 coarse thread.

On my 78 they are 7/16 bolts, better check to make sure.

ok, went to the Lowes bought 3/8" too small, bought a 7/16 too big, bought a 10mmx1.5 almost fit but the threads might be wrong. Does anyone know? Could they be Metric?

I am thinking 25/64 extra coarse thread.......

Weird. I ran a bolt into my mounting hold and then used the 'check a thread' my wife bought be from NAPA. I just picked up a brush guard in December and have not mounted it yet. I will go looking for the bolts that actually came with it....
