Exclamation help exhaust manifold to cat pipe bolts?

well installed new cat and new exhaust front to rear. bolt to front manifold are old like shot rusted. cat was replaced 4 years ago went back and broke apart inside. so i bought a new one cause truck was screwed and now i can hear it leaking in the front.i tried auto parts store no one carries the replacement bolts. any help would be nice i wanna fix it before emissions testing and going away this weekend with my girl friend. this is my daily driver till i find and auto cause i wont be able to drive soon cause i'm having surgery on my leg then i will have to give up and sell my truck. i bought my truck for $1600 and put 900 into her and i'm hoping to let someone take care of her like i did religiously. lol anyways just wanna get the exhaust leak fixed .N803420-S2 thats ford part but discontinued

Wow, congratulations on the longest sentence in the entire history of the world, first of all. Second of all, I'm sure you can order the parts you need online from your house, or possibly through an auto parts dealer like O'Reilley's or Pep Boys, etc. If not you can always break out a welder and a grinder and custom fab something up! That's all I can think of without putting too much thought into it. And for future reference, take advantage of commas, periods, semicolons, colons, and all your other friendly punctuation tools! They're here to help, and people like me will actually be more willing to read future posts.

Oh, forgot to add that a Pick N Pull will probably have what you need.

----------

dont get me wrong i love my truck. but with what i need is either bigger truck thats auto or a suv that auto. all i can say cant do much with my ranger so in the long run she has to go. best truck i ever worked on and ever owned .had it since 91,000 shes at 175,000 so yeah shes had a bunch of new parts in the last 4 years i've owned her.

Makes sense. Anyways, good luck with the truck, and I hope you find what you need. FRF is a good place to start for any questions. My advice is to search before you make a new thread, and to make sure you use punctuation as much as possible. It makes people wanna help you, because your posts will be much easier to read. Good luck man!
