I am re-visiting this project after 10 years off and can't find the 8 axle bolts that hold each axle in place. The axle holes have a slight counter sunk hole. I can't find these available. My question is, would it cause problems if I use some high grade off the shelf bolts with square corners under the head? The only problem I can imagine is there might be a rotational slippage. The holes measure .525 and the top of the counter sink is .660. That .025+ difference between the hole and a 1/2" bolt bothers me. Anybody have some they want to sell? Any ideas?
From a tech tip here at Stovebolt, I'm pretty sure the axels are Eaton axles used in 3/4-ton trucks from 1947 - 1972. I likely have a HO52 center section
