Made it back on the road we are pulling into tenn. eta Greenville midnight.
glad you got it buttoned up and things didnt get too hairy. Awesome job finding the bolt, thats crazy. Times like these it would be good to remember which bolt on the 80 is the same odd size. Is it a seat belt or second row seat anchor???
As I recall the caliper bolt is fine spline and most of the other bolts the same size on an 80 are coarse, so it is hard to swap out. I actually had 2 spares in the Cado just for this reason, but mine never came out as a I used the right rebuild process the 3 times I had the axles torn down 
The other major fun item are the knuckle studs. They need to be replaced if you have never done them. They get stretched/worn over time and you should NEVER reuse them. If anyone rebuilt a front 80 axle and didn't include new studs I would be skeptical. I rebuilt the Cado the second time due to failed studs after not replacing them during PM.

Jason I think you are right the second row seat bolts are fine. Will have to check that.
