Factory skid plate bolt size?

I picked up a factory skid plate off cl. Does anyone know the factory bolt dimensions or part #? I've searched and haven't found much. My truck is an 88 btw. Thanks.

For my 90 4runner, part number 90119-08766

This should work

Don't know the size or thread pitch though, but I use a 12mm socket on them

I know this isn't the right part, but a 5/16 18 standard bolt will screw right in the toyota bolt is 8mmx1.25 I don't know the length.

Stripped Thread. Re-thread for 10-mm dia 1.5mm pitch?

Yes, stock bolt is 8mm - dia 1.25mm pitch...

One of the threads for my skid plate is stripped, and the others are starting to get there, too. I believe there is a nut welded to the frame, correct? Meaning there's room to re-thread for 10-mm dia, 1.5-mm pitch bolt?
Has anybody successfully done that?

Here's a tip for skidplate bolts. I buy stainless bolts at a local screw, bolt & nut store--that's all they sell. You'll have to ask around.

Then, before installing (every time), smear a bit of anti-seize on the threads. They bolts won't rust, they'll come out much easier, and chances of messing up the "nut" are reduced.
