Default 62 leaf spring eye pin thread?

Does anyone know what the thread pitch and size is for the eye pin that goes in the front of the leaf spring is? I'm putting all new in mine and the nuts are back ordered and I want to get on the road.
Thanks You!

If that's the big knurled-head front eye bolt I don't know what you'd replace it with that would work...and be safe; its specially hardened. Dr. Rebuild has nice repros as do some other vendors...

I've got the new eye pins (with big knurled head), just the nuts are back ordered. So I figured i'd pick up some grade 8's to get me by until the real deals finally show up.

That makes more sense, no I don't know the size but Doc Rebuild appears to have those nuts in stock too...

I just checked my new eye pins and they are 9/16-18
