Does anybody know what bolt size I need for those gas tank straps on an 81ish chevy c30? I lost one of the bolts and the other bolt is kind of a pain to take off an on again.

What is the head size of the one which remains? If it's a 9/16" head, it's more than likely a 3/8"-16 thread. You'd just have to ensure the bolt is long enough. If you can give me the head size, I can figure out what the thread is for you.– Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 ♦Apr 1, 2019 at 16:34

Still, what is the head size of the nut (or opposing bolt)?– Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 ♦Apr 1, 2019 at 16:36

It is a 5/8 head– volareApr 1, 2019 at 16:45

1It is most likely a 7/16"-14 thread. Most nuts/bolts of this type are coarse threaded. I'm surprised, though ... usually these are captured nuts, to make installation easier. You sure something isn't rusted through?– Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 ♦Apr 1, 2019 at 16:50
