I am doing a 90's front clip swap on my 84 and the front body mount bolts are seized. I was wondering if anyone knew what size bolts I need to replace the stock ones. Reason for the questions is that I am planning on finishing the swap tonight after work and the stores around here will be closed so it would be nice to already have the bolts. I am replacing the front 2 mounts by the rad support

I haven't met a pair of them yet that didn't need a torch to convince them to come out. :rolleyes: Might sound dumb, but get yourself a couple lenghts of all-thread in different diamters, and make your own. Once you have done that, you can go back later and replace them with the correct hardness.

Mr.Sawzall is your friend :D
You mentioned replacing the front ones at the radiator support, but you'd best change them all at once, the rest will be hammered as well.
I wound up making some up with threaded rod too. Works great.
