    Someone only installed one of the bolts that holds the steering column to the floorboard. I tried the one bolt that was installed in all the holes and it fit each one without trouble. The problem I'm having is that I can't find this size bolt anywhere, even on the internet. Can someone shed some light on this? I've posted a picture below. I think this would make this bolt a M6-1.75x20, but that doesn't seem to exist anywhere.

    Well, I found out from a response on another forum. In case this might help someone else, I'll post what I found. This is a sheet metal screw. The size is 6.3-1.81 x 20mm. The original GM part# is 11505022. Be careful because it seems some websites have the Incorrect GM part number listed as GM# 11500970.

    Tell you're tire that I'm looking for a giant sack of cash with a dollar sign on it next.

    This is the reason why I always strip and take as many fasteners as I can at the junkyard. I've replaced so many missing fasteners on my Ranchero.

    Why visit a junkyard? Just send Grizz on errands and there should be enough to harvest from his tires afterwards

    Looks like a 13 metric head and sheet metal fastener.
