Default Drive shaft bolts?
Doing a 2007 Classic 5.3/4L60E swap in my 48 Chevy pickup. Using a 2000 Ford Explorer disc brake rear end. Can I use hardware store bolts for the drive shaft to the circular flange hookup on the Explorer rear?

Default bolts
as long as they're at least grade 5 although I prefer grade 8 for drive line stuff
If they're metric use a 10.9.

No, get them new from the dealer for a few bucks or re-use the old ones. I think they're grade 12.9.
They torque to 70-95lb-ft.

McMaster Carr sells flanged 12.9 metric bolts as well.
