Hey guys, I just bought an engine stand today and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could pick up some bolts that are long enuff for the stand and have the same thread... let me know, thanks.

I was worried that I lowes/home depot wouldn't have that specific thread type (althought I don't know what thread type it is) I figured it would be metric or something bc it's automotive.... but I have some old turbo bolts, thanks guys!

Yes, turbo bolts are the ones usually used. If you want a seperate set for your stand, pick up some M10x1.25 bolts of an appropriate length and drive it on.

Yeah almost all the bolts in your car have a 1.25mm thread pitch...

And of course that's the most poorly stocked thread pitch at most stores. I'm lucky enough to have a small local hardware store that just happens to stock shitloads of 1.25 stuff, in all grades and materials. HD and Lowes suck...

Well... I was at lowe's for something else and figured I'd look, and believe it or not they had some bolts. So if you're ever in a pinch, there you go.
