I've seen a couple websites online showing center pins for sale. Is the diameter they are listed at of the head that goes into the leaf perch or the leaf of the bolt that goes through the leaf pack?

Is there anywhere specific to buy chevy 60 centering pins?

Thanks ahead of time... this isn't a very techy question unfortunately but not quite general chit chat.
 
What type truck?
I have a Dana 60, but it's under a Jeep. I use Wrangler springs which come with 5/16 bolts. Way too small. Firs go around I drilled them to 3/8, still broke one, so next time I drilled the springs to 7/16, no issues since.
When looking at bolts to put in make sure to not only look at the tensile strength, but sheer strength as well.
 
Like Chip, I replaced mine with Grade 8, 3/8" hex head bolts which have held up fine. I'm not as heavy as Chip so the 3/8" should be adequate for me. Only hard part was redrilling the spring steel, make sure you have a sharp bit :)
