Thanks guys! I'll order the kit from Kirban. Thanks for the link Longroof! All my bolts are the same Dia. I know two were a little shorter, but they are all 10MM X 1.5. so I am not sure about the 12's. I'll order the kit.

You're more than welcome, man. Glad I could be of help. Mine were also all the same diameter, only the lengths were different.
I was very patient removing my body bolts, and if possible, try to spray some PB Blaster, Kroll, or any good industrial strength penetrating oil in there. I did encounter several that were on the verge of snapping. They tend to become thin from rust.
I guess i got lucky.
I loosened them gradually by hand using a breaker bar. I later installed them using an impact wrench and torquing them.
I also used anti-seize or grease on the threads in case I ever want to go back and do a body-off restoration. Not likely at this point.
