Gm Dana 60 brake question

[JM1914Tn]

Hey this is a random question, but what isn't on this site.
I'm in the process of rebuilding my GM Dana 60. Got new loaded calipers and cleaned up the mounting bracket. What size bolt /threads through the caliper to secure it to the bracket? Or if no one knows, what has worked for folks in the past w/ the hardware missing?

Just curious, because this will be helping stop my rig.

Thanks

Is the bracket threaded? If its the type that I'm thinking of a pin goes through the piston side of the caliper and then through the bracket and then through the "non-piston" side of the caliper. I might be off track but the caliper has to float to allow movement.

un- threaded, to the best of my recollection.

GM calipers do not have a bolt going through the caliper itself, only a small allen head bolt that goes through a hole in a slide under the caliper.

What nvrenuf is referring to is the Bendix style brakes found on the GM Dana 60s.

And correct in that it doesn't use bolt/pins like the Dana 44 and the 10 bolt does.

The caliper interlocks with the bracket by design, utilizing a keeper bracket and anti-rattle clip to hold the caliper in place. A 5/16th"x20 Allen head bolt locks the keeper bracket in place.

You can find the new Allen head bolts online, made specifically for the Dana 60. But I have used a regular 5/16ths hex head bolt as a replacement.
