I Need Help Please
I'm picking up my 73 k5 tonight, the front drive shaft is uninstalled, I was wondering if anyone would know what size the bolts are to put that in?

You first may want to investigate why the front driveshaft was uninstalled...

RE: I Need Help Please
i already know why it was. the guy thought it was full time 4wd.

I do not know about a 73, but my 85 has the U-bolts with 7/16" nuts on it.

yes. there is two on both ends of the drive shaft, two at the axle and two at the transfer case.

And yes, they are typically are a hex nuts which require a 7/16" wrench (not a 7/16" thread) that thread onto a U shaped strap as pictured below:
This is a picture of the front driveshaft on my 74 K5 where it connects to the front axle (Dana 44). I believe that the other end is the exact same arrangement.

It is a UNF thread. I do not know the exact thread size though.
