Default HELP! Brakes/Bolts

Hi, this is my first post here so I apologize if it should have been posted elsewhere.

Anyhow Im posting for a friend who has lost a rear caliper bracket bolt for his 2004 Joe Gibbs Silverado. Im trying to find out what size bolt he needs and what is the thread pitch?

If anyone can help before 5PM that would be greatly appreciated. I leave work at 5 and dont have access to all the bolts here after that.

Why doesn't he pull a bolt and get it measured at the parts store?

Personally I did not check the dealership. My friend actually got another friend of ours to order one....its going to be there tomorrow. I was trying to save him 8 dollars for a friggin bolt. Im a (ford) diesel mechanic and we have a wall of bolts here at my shop, and for the life of me i cant find what the bolt pitch and size are online.

If hes not concerned enough to call them back and ask what it is to save 8 bucks, then im shure as hell not worried about it lol. Thought I might get a quick answer on here, I always have on my other auto forums. But no worries. Sorry to clutter up your forums.

Don't get upset, nobody knew the circumstances.

M14x2x37mm long

Tell em you were quoted 4.61 plus tax and they may bite though.

No problem at all, hope you can find something in that size and strong enough. Maybe a ford caliper bolt?
