Believe or not it is a 5/16-18 thread. So far it is the only inch series threads I have found on the truck.

5/8" is the correct length for the stock diff cover. Need to go longer if adding a Pan-Hard bracket (7/8").

Fastener 101 tip of the day: The length on hex head bolts are measure from under the head. Counter sunk (flat head) screws and bolts are measured from end to end.

I need to go

1/4 inch longer than stock and I'm using Hex Head stainless bolts ... So an inch from under the head should probably do it huh...?
