Don't know the thread but I think has to be that odd head. I don't think will have room for a regular headed bolt. Could be wrong. Go to j-yard about any rearwheel drive Ford has the 8.8 or 7.5 and grab 4 bolts.

The bolts on the driveshaft are 12 point 12mm bolts. I'm not sure the thread pitch. Most Mustangs and other rear wheel drive Ford cars should be the same. Go to the boneyard and get some.

12 point, 12mm X 1.75

These are available at the Ford dealer. Do not use an off the shelf bolt, as this is a high-strength bolt.
