Question Do F150 4.2 V6 have Reusable Rod Bolts?

Do 1998 Ford F150 4.2 V6 engine have Reusable Rod Bolts or Torque to Yield Bolts? I preferred buying new Rod Bolt just to make sure but the problem is I can't find one.

Maybe ask a ford service tech. They would probably tell you for free.

Torque to yield...single use by rule, but some do fine reusing. I would not as they are inexpensive.....and the motor is not.
