carriage bolts.
I was going through my cache today looking for these special bolts. The head sizes are shown with a modern equivalent on the right.
They are three different lengths. I know there should be two different lengths, and I have a theory why I have three. Anyone have their own ideas?

Re: carriage bolts.
Allen, for hard to find hardware, try Blacksmith Bolt & Rivet Supply. I purchased some blackened step bolts there I couldn't find elsewhere. Also some heavy square nuts and round head slotted wood screws, all blackened.

Re: carriage bolts.
Ford seems to have had his own ideas on bolt head sizes. I've been lucky and have been able most of the time to find originals. I wonder when Ford started raven finishing bolts? Today's carriage bolts seem to only available in 1/2" increments.

Re: carriage bolts.
Fellows, these have a special use on a T. Two of the lengths suit a standard T. The extra long one? I have what I need for this last project, and can use hardware shop items for the tray body.
