Default Brake/Caliper Question

Make/Model: 1999 S10 Blazer 4x4


My wife was on her way to work yesterday morning when she called me and said the brakes were making a noise. So I got it home and took the wheel off of the front driver side and got to looking and one of the caliper mounting bolts are missing. So I go to the parts store and ask if they have caliper bolts and they give me the guide pins. When I tell them that is not what I need they look at me like I'm stupid and say that's all they have. The pins are in place, what I need are the 18mm bolts that hold the caliper on. Are these called by a different name and do any of you by chance know where I can get them?

Try a different parts store, look at www.rockauto.com & see if you can find them. Then you'll have the possibly different term for what they're called.

I cannot find the bolts on Rockauto, but I have bookmarked it for future reference. I've made a diagram below to show the bolts I'm talking about if yall aren't sure. Do you think I could find a bolt in a hardware store to make do untill I can get to a junkyard?

Possibly & take one with you for them to size up so you know it'll fit.
