Kind of misplaced the power steering box bolts for my cuda during tare down. Now its time to bolt it back together. For some reason i thought these were special bolts. Is there anyway i can get these or something that will box from a local nut and bolt guy?

depends on the year , some used a 12 point head others HEX , not sure if the HEX is smaller than what a bolt that size would normally have . should be easy to find someone with a set , I usually never throw out ANY bolts when I part a car .

As long as you can get a wrench on the head of the bolt it should ... call A body joe and see if he still has his K from the alterK swap kicking around ...
