Prop shaft to diff flange bolts are a fine thread, not easy to find from the normal suspects.
Rocker cover bolts are a standard thread and I like to use cap head Allen ones.
The steel rocker cover likes the load spreading plates that come with the standard ford bolts.

IIRC the rocker cover bolts are M5 and a above it's best to use the proper load spreading washers with the pressed steel rocker covers.

Ebay usually has nice stainless sets on offer or you could try Burton Power for a set.
