Anybody know the diameter and pitch of the bolt that mounts the horn to the body on the 2001 (Supercrew, Automatic)? Dropped mine in the weeds and it's gone for good! As a second option, maybe someone can point me in the direction of the part number for this screw?

Thanks in advance!

So, I didn't get an answer to the size of the factory horn bolt size, but I have a rough idea, which I'll post here for posterity.

I went to the Ford parts place to just buy the actual part, preferring to have been able to just grab a bolt at the local hardware store. But they claimed the part was not in stock and would take a week to get in. Didn't really seem worth it for a 53 cent part.


So I came home and tried to hand thread a couple metric taps into the existing (and very very rusty) hole. It felt like the M8 x 1.25 was the closest. So I finished running that tap through the hole and ran to the hardware store and got a couple lengths of bolts.

When I crawled back under the bumper of the truck and sanding the mounting surface to free it of rust and ensure a decent ground, the bolt threaded right up and the horn happily works again.

So while it may not be the factory part size, an M8 x 1.25mm x 20mm bolt works fine.

I know this was a bit of a meaningless post, but just wanted to share the result.
