I think you're onto something. My M1028 also had the tubes. I will try and find the old bolts today when I'm there.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Something like this?If you can shear grade 5 bed bolts off you are way way way past screwed!
Clamp load is apx 9000 lbs on grade 5 1/2" bolts... Varying figures on shear, so i won't post them so as not to!
With that said, some of the rusty factory bolts are probably degraded to the point they're way weaker than 5's!!!
Go to Lowes, look in the bolt section, get some galvanized carriage bolts.
