Hello, Does anyone know where I can buy the stock bolts that help fasten the interior wood framing in a 1937 Sedan Delivery. It is a carriage bolt style but has an extra large diameter oval head (15/16") and length of 2". Thread size is 5/16"-18. I have looked at carriage and timber bolts but the head size is different (smaller). Elevator bolts have a large diameter head but it is flat not oval. The nuts for these are T-nuts which seem to be readily available. Thanks for any help

You might try Roy Nacewicz Ford Bolts. He restored a great looking 1937 Ford Sedan Delivery years ago. www.fordbolts.com

Just a question, but how would you tighten those down to the wood without any way to grab them with a wrench?

good catch! The Tee nuts are used elsewhere in the wood parts. I just talked with Roy Nacewicz and he had the same question. BTW, they don't carry these particular bolts. I will probably go with elevator bolts.

McMaster-Carr has a huge selection of elevator bolts. They can be ordered on line and it is usually next day delivery.
