Like many of you I used to have all the fasteners recoated, plated when doing a frame off. It was sometimes difficult to get the right finish and you still had a few buggered up bolts in the end, and sometimes had a hard time figuring out where something came from. In my neck of the woods platers are getting far a few in between and the cost is skyrocketing. The last 2 frame offs I’ve done, mid year corvettes, I used the kits. Correct fasteners for all locations, all the correct markings in the factory correct coating and you know exactly where every piece goes. Not sure if that’s the same with these truck kits but IMHO, the kits are the way to go, and I will be using a kit on my next truck.
