Default need some quick help. thread pitch/size

Does anyone know the specs on the bolts that hold the U-joint straps into the rear yoke? I'm going to get some grade 8 bolts today for it but the truck and bolts arent anywhere close to me....

also, the thread pitch and size of the cooler line fittings that go into the radiator? I'm getting some plugs for those holes as I wont be needing them anymore. I have to get to the fastener place as soon as I get a chance so please let me know.

Do you have any pics of your cooler lines? How did you run the tubing?

I had some -6AN hoses made up with fittings on one end and none on the other. the end with fittings will just thread on to the adapters on the trans case with some 45* ends and the one end will just slide and clamp onto the cooler ends. the hoses will be routed outside the frame rails in order to keep them away from header heat etc etc... and a little bit cooler. Its pretty simple. I'll get pics when the whole thing gets installed this weekend.
