This is an airforce truck that is in darn good shape, other than the wiring and now distinct lack of any brakes.

So I found out why the e-brake doesn't work, the bolt for the driver's side mount is missing. Does anyone know the length, diameter and thread pitch for it off hand? The lining looks meaty enough.
