'81 Pickup Bed bolts

Does anyone know what size the bed bolts are (the ones that connect the bed to the frame) or where I can get new ones? The dealer told me they are a discontinued item.

Thanks Corey, don't get me wrong the original bolts, washers, and nuts are not in horribly bad shape. I was just going to replace them if I could, being I've replaced just about every other nut and bolt on the truck. I'll just clean them up and reuse.
