They are a 5/16", fine thread bolt with a 12 point head and take a 7/16 socket or boxed end wrench to tighten/loosen it.
I am no expert here. But I think they were used on older GM cars and then they changed the bolts to a larger 3/8" bolt which looks the same but needs a 1/2" wrench. I believe the the 3/8" was used later and I have another coupler which uses the 3/8.
I'll put up a picture of the bolt.

Thanks, Mike

We are having some thunder storms today but I don't think we will have any problems.
I appreciate you taking time to check, these are something I need but there is absolutely no hurry.
Besides, after I finally found my big blunder about the size of the bolts, These are available in that size from every vendor for A body parts. I feel like an idiot!

Take it easy buddy,
Mike
