Bolt Specs, Rear strut Bracket

I can't find my original bolts that attach the rear strut bracket to the differential, need the bolt specs so I can buy new ones. Also, I can't tell from my pictures which direction the offset of the bracket points, forward or rearward.

1971 C3 automatic, 350, stock. Rear suspension is all stock.

Thanks in advance.

You can't go wrong with gr8 bolts but I think they were gr5. The bracket will only go on 1 way , the holes are offset.

Good stuff, thanks for the info. But I need the specs for the bolts, diameter, length pitch.
No doubt I'll use grade-8, redily available here.

Regards,

3/8 x 16 x 1" should do it. The hole depth is 3/4"
