Hi Shawn, we have bolt charts available on the site:
https://mtfca.com/phpBB3/app.php/gallery/album/195 which will give you most bolt (and nut) sizes.
The one you want is:

and you are looking for a 3/8" UNF 13/16" long

3/8 x 24 tpi, same as engine to pan bolts.
The holes in the pan are tapped for 24 tpi. Check it out

The two bottom ones are shorter, threading directly into the pan. The two upper ones are a bit longer, going through the holes in the hogshead and then getting castle nuts and cotter pins (although a lot of people shortcut with lock washers?).
I don't recall the actual lengths (pretty easy to figure what fits best?).

Thanks everyone that really helped. I bagged and tagged everything but I can't find these ones. I'm sure they are somewhere safe.
