Default T/A Girdle bolts?

I have the standard 10 bolt truck rear end on my 01 silverado... I just bought a used t/a girdle from a member on the boards... i was wondering what bolts i am supposed to use with this, bc the stockers arent long enough. And also, where i could get them from?

TIA

You gotta get some that are longer. I used 35mm length ARP and I know some others have used a 40mm length.
I got mine from Summit.

I just went to Ace and bought some for mine. Nothing special, but they seem to work.

hey snake.. i was on summit...i'll probably go with the 35's... im guessing i should go with the largest wrench size.. which is 10mm?

i know stockers are 13.. should i use some washers? or will it matter?

If they are ARP bolts, then they come with washers. I think mine were 12point 10mm
