My new leaf springs came with new bolts, but you can get hardened steel bolts at most hardware stores.

Been through this before. I looked and could not find them at the hardware store. They didn't have any long enough. had to go with mustang depot. They were the only onesI could find that had them. Look at this. http://www.mustangdepot.com/OnLineCa...shing_sets.htm
the 68 -73 is shorter so you might could find those. 65-67 are between 6 and 7 inches. The correct bolt also has a tapper on the end to make it easier to find the hole on the other side. Don't go to home depot and get some crappy soft bolt. These are hardened to grade 5 I'm pretty sure. They might be harder.

You can always try places online like Mustangs Unlimited or American Pony Parts. They usually have complete kits or just miscellaneous nuts and bolts. Good Luck

even though the bolt might say its grade 5 it is more like 10 and yes they have grade 10 bolts but you cant buy them and hardware stores.... who would need a grade 10 bolt. a saws all didn't even touch that bolt with out smoothing the teeth out
