I need a few elevators bolts in the 3 3/4" to 4" range. Every place
I've found on-line seems to carry a max length of 3". I've tried
McFeely's, Graingers, McMaster-Carr, and few other web sites.

A local Fastenal store says that can get them for me, but only in lots
of 50. At least that tells me that they exist.

Short of calling every company that lists a 3" bolt to see if they can
get longer ones, does any know of a source that I can go directly
to?

Thanks!

...

Local Fastenal here says they'll get any quantity of anything (altho
I'll admit I've never tried for stuff that would likely be highly
unlikely they would sell the rest w/o too much trouble, I just picked up
a small lot order of square-head bolts...

What diameter you want? If no other fastener distributor local, no
other real ideas, sorry...

These folks carry a LOT of fastners and 3" appears to be the max
for them... http://www.reidsupply.com/index.aspx

Does it need to be an elevator bolt? Would a carriage bolt work
instead? They're available in more sizes.
