[TowerTalk] Anchor Bolt Grade Suitable for Tower Base?

I am installing an LM-470 and prefer to use a base plate for the tilt 
base that was designed for retrofit to an already existing concrete pad 
and anchor bolts.  The base plate takes three 1-1/2" anchor bolts, which 
will be 27-36" long.  I have purchased 10 feet of 1-1/2" threaded rod 
that meets ASTM specification A307A,B or C.  Apparently, the stuff is 
known as "common" threaded rod and is the lowest strength available.  Is 
this rod suitable for this application?

Tnx and 73,
