what are the most popular nut/bolt sizes?
 

Ideally would like a complete list of sizes used to wrench on our beloved squarebodies; all SAE and SAE/Metric types!
or a solid link
Thank you!

Not sure what you mean. Buy a kit that has metric and SAE. Wrench away.

At one point a long time ago, I bought a mixed box end wrench with 1/2" on one end and 9/16" on the other.

That would actually take care of most things that you would encounter out on the road.

If you are working on the body, its filled with 1/2" and 9/16" body bolts. So those two sizes will handle almost everything if you want to work with panels.

The early ones were all SAE. At some point in the later 70's, they switched to a mix of SAE/metric. Drive train stayed mostly SAE. Body was often metric but not always. My 79 Camaro required the dual metric/SAE sets to get things done.

1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 3/4 + an adjustable(Cresent) will cover most road side repairs. Toss in the proper screwdriver for your lights(usually phillips or torx).

No telling what PO's might have used to fix something so even a rock solid list is just a best guess.
