Can you identify this bolt?
I've found 2 of these bolts in my driveway over the last 3 months. I cannot figure out where they came from. Can you identify these bolts? I would hate for the bed to fall of my truck as I power down the highway

Pretty sure it's coincidence, never seen a bolt even close to that on any year F-150. There is so little anymore that use a square head bolt.

Check your ceiling fan. Thats what they use to secure them to the rod going to the ceiling.

Time to set up the surveillance cameras and see whos been parking in your driveway while your gone Cause those arent from our trucks.

Sure, - Those keep the drivers seat from falling thru the floor board @ cruising speeds.

The only place I have seen that type of bolt on an F150 is the blocks at the rear end of the torsion bar. But that is just my memory, and it has been a while since I owned a 97-03 F150.

Klitch hit it....they are typically used for locking collars on bearings and stops of some sort.

That's right, I've seen those on barbell collars. Also, I have some small metal clamps that have em.
