Instead of trying to find one with the right length and machining threads on it why not find one a little longer with a shank length a bit shorter than you need and just cut the extra threads off? Too unless the bolt itself is being used as a bearing surface then it really isn"t going to matter whether the threads go all the way to the head or not as a bearing race isn"t going to care as long as it"s help in place and not allowed to spin. About the only reason I can see to have the threads a cetrain length is to allow the nut to bottom out but this problem can be overcome by using two jam nuts locked together instead of a single nut, or if you wanted an even more sure joint then use a thin lock nut tightened against a regular jam nut.
Check out McMaster Carr"s bolt selection and I think you might find what your looking for. They have a 1" 14TPI that is 4 inches long and has a shank length that has a standard variation in length from 2 1/4 to 2 7/8. Given the application one of those bolts with any of the given shank lengths up to right at 2 3/4 ought to work just fine without doing anything but cutting off the extra thread.
If McMaster can"t "guarantee" you the shank length will be less than 2 3/4 then you can try Earnest Machine Products. Fasteners is all they do and they may be able to help you out also. Good luck.
