Default 96 F150 Seat bolt size

Snapped a seat bolt while swapping seats (front bolt). Napa said its metric but didn't know the size and didn't have any in stock.. Can't find the size or bolts for sale anywhere on line.

Anyone happen to know the size? If no luck I'll just hit a couple junkyards tomorrow.

Thanks for any help.

Why not just hit a hardware store? I would think you can find a bolt that would work.

Agree with Rbt, take the other bolt to the hardware store and replace them both with grade 8. In my line of thinking: "If one bolt snaps, the one from the other side has probably been placed under the same stresses so it is only a matter of time/force before it goes to." Last thing you want is your bench coming loose in an accident.

I'm assuming you are talking about the two front bolts that go from bench frame to cab, if you are referring to the bolts that go from seat to bench frame then I would replace them all.

yes the 2 front bolts. I wiggled the other one back and forth and finessed it out which I should have done with the first one instead of trying to muscle it. I'm hoping if I run a drill straight into the bolt it it will just twist right out the bottom.

I will hit a hardware store and try I'm just used to Amazom Prime 2 day and finding everything i need but for this I couldn't find one

Thanks again!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but did you ever find out the size? Mine are completely missing.
