Are the fronts missing their nuts too? The flange should have studs, you shouldn't need new bolts unless you were messing about which the t-case output for some reason. The thread pitch is definitely something common for the front at least, cause I had to use a random nut from my garage up there for a week which fit perfectly

well… i found a tundra at the yard that had what looked like the same exact bolts. But I couldn’t get them off with the tools I had because the wheels were off the ground, the transmission was gone, and the parking brake didn’t work, so the driveshaft just spun.
bummer. I wanted the have my new driveshaft on finally for a 4hr drive i’m doing tomorrow. I’ve been driving around town in “front wheel drive” without a rear driveshaft for months though, even some highway. It’ll probably be fine. I definitely will need them by next week so I can actually have a driveshaft before I drive 1700 miles towing a trailer, so i’ll just order them since I can’t do it in time for the shorter drive tomorrow. Thanks for the help y’all!
