Thanks, but I went there about a year ago.....no go,.....but you can tell the urgency of this, but one of the bolts/nutz is stripped for some reason....but being ~20 years old, I suppose they are female....

Just make sure you don't over tighten them. When I did mine I got different torque spec's for my 68. Wish I could remember the spec. I think you will be able to tell when you tighten them. I got grade 8 at Lowe's. Also remember,,,,,,,, the height of the rear end is ONLY dependent on the length of the bolt,,,,,, period!

Why would these bolts ever be "torqued"?

I agree, they just bolts with much thread, so to adjust ride as wanted.....mine show about 1.5 inches from the nut to the end of bolt, stock ride height so tire looks symetrical in the well opening and frame is square up.....
