So I removed my spare tire assembly to do a little work on my leaking differential. When I removed the 4 fasteners that secure the tub to the frame. I found 5/16-18 bolts not 5/16-24. I did read other articles that indicated that others also found 18 thread, and yes some previous owner may have changed them before my ownership (have owned this car about 40 yrs). The odd thing is 2 of these bolts have anchor head markings, which I believe is period correct for a 1966. Also the tips are a chisel design with a shoulder under the head. If not correct for the tub where else could these been used? Anyone else found these on their '66? Pics included
