Tim,
You are absolutely correct in that there were never slotted "head-bolts" on these trucks. However, the way I have always read the phrase "1/4"-20 slotted head bolts" is that "slotted head" is the adjectival phrase that describes "bolts" not that "slotted" describes "head bolts". If I had been writing that book, I probably would have hyphenated slotted and head so that the phrase would read "1/4"-20, slotted-head bolts".
