I think you're looking for M8-1.25 (and M6-1.0 for the smaller holes). The length isn't that important and I'd guess anything from 20-40mm would be just fine. I found a few stainless options at Home Depot.Is anyone else having a hard time finding M8-1.0 25mm button head bolts? Amazon, Fastenel, and the big box stores - Home Depot and Lowes - have all failed me. Closest I can find from Home Depot is this Hex bolt. But, I am not sure if the head will be too big for the US Cargo L-track rail I ordered - https://www.uscargocontrol.com/products/Airline-Track-48-Piece
BUT, I just spent half a day installing that same exact track (in bare aluminum) and I'm going to rip it out for another solution. The pre-drilled holes in the rail don't line up with the bed (not surprising), but it's also nearly impossible to drill the necessary holes. The holes in the bed are oddly spaced and not level with each other, so once you put the holes in the rail you'll find you either don't have room to use a countersink bit (you need to countersink the screws in order to use the rail as designed) or you won't even have room for the screw itself (you'll notice the pre-drilled holes on the rail are all in the circular openings, well that won't be the case for your newly drilled holes). I hacked it together by trimming off pieces of the face of the rail to make it work, but I'm not happy with the finished product. If all of that sounded confusing, you'll see what I mean when you get the rail... I can also post pictures if anyone wants.
That said... I'd like to order the OEM rail that comes with the Lariat/XLT Lux Package... does anyone have a part number? I can't find it on the Ford parts or accessories pages.
