If it is a clean zinc chromate bolt take a look at it close for wear
spots or corrosion spots. They will give you a clue what the parts it
holds look like. 4" is a long bolt. Sounds like a suspension bolt like
an A arm or maybe a rear spring bolt? Or possibly a caliper mount bolt?

I would look it over REAL close.
