After pouring over the AIM, AMK catalog and my bolt bins, I have come up with a decode for the front end bolts for 69 at least. I started this over on TC. Anyone care to comment? 

Front end bolts decoded - corrected

The front end is held together with many types of bolts. Part numbers are listed in the AIM. Pointed means the earlier style with the cut ends, not the later ones with threads all the way to the end. I will try to describe them below:

3846201 - 5/16-18x5/8" captured washer .75, flat end

Kurt, thanks!  Is the information correct?  I was really surprised by the smaller 201 bolts for the rad support.  I always used the flanged one.  Since I sorted my bolts, I found a bunch of 201s.  That really made my day.

201 bolts that were still legible (not cleaned yet), were a _|_ with a small e in the middle and a M with a | through the middle.
