67 Softtop to Body Mount Bolt Help

[Dereck S.]

Please provide feedback on what the correct four bolts are that mount the softtop to the body for a 67. Looking for correct headmarking, length, grade, and washer. Pictures would be very helpful in determining if what I have currently installed are correct. My bolts have three slash marks indicating grade, however, there is no specific supplier marking like "RSC", "TR", etc. My bolts look generic and possibly replacements.
thanks,
Dereck

Bill & Jim,
Thanks for the replies and the pics. I clearly have installed the wrong bolts. Unfortunately, I never had the correct ones prior to the resto. I'll hunt down some originals.

Dereck,

The bolts are not unique to this location and were used in other applications.

I show those bolts (#3829442) as unique to that application and not used anywhere else on any '63-'67.

If you are talking about the bolts that bolt the top frame to the body I think this is what your looking for. Maybe John can confirm. By the way they are fine thread.

Bill,

Now those are the kind of pictures I tried to take !

I guess if you have enough money to buy the better camera ,you can also afford to have your bolts gold plated !

Well Jim I hate to disappoint ya but its $99 Nikon Cool Pix camera. I took the pictures with no flash and under fluorescent light so the rusty/dirty old original bolts just look gold.
Maybe I should take a picture with this camera of my better half and see how she looks

John,

Let me add clarity to my statement.

The bolts are not unique to that location....they were used in other GM applications.

These were used on 67-72 chevy trucks. I pulled many of them of the trucks.
