Bed and running board mounting bolts?

Does anyone have a souce for the four wide head bed mounting bolts? Naturally the ones my bed came with are trashed. I might be able to use the shorter two (the middle ones in the bed) but the longer bolts that go through the rear crossmember were rusted beyond use.

Also, I need the bolts that mount the running boards. I had to cut the old ones off. The locally available bolts have a head diameter that is smaller than original.

What are you guys using for these applications?

(My truck cab is now AF blue and I hope to have a few pics to show later in the week.)

Believe they are called Step bolts or elevator bolts. I believe MWM had some. I "might" have some used ones kicking around here somewhere.

Mcmaster Carr has some of those "elevator bolts" but they are maxed out at about 2" long.

I have a new batch of new bed bolts in stock, correct lengths.
