Nuts, Bolts and Washers Thread
I have spent the last week scouring the FAQ boards for answers to a lot of my questions, and saved threads as i went on my way.
ALOT OF GOOD info there, however, i saw nothing on the Size bolts and nuts folks on here might need while doing a rebuild. Short of going to a borad sponsor or vendor, there really is not much info on the subject. For example, i recently went to the local hardware store and picked up what I thought i needed for my bed to be mounted properly, and i must say it looks as though i did the right thing. Its not the exact right hardware, but its good. BED MOUNTING: 8-7/16 x 5.5" bolts with the round head 8-1/4" thick X 2"(dia) rubber washers 8-Lock washers 8-Big washers 8-7/16 nuts And i recently asked a vendor about Cab Mounting (bolts only) and he was nice enough to share with me the following: 2 - 7/16" x 5.1/2" Bolts 2 - 2.1/2" washers But what about Front Clip? Inner Fender Outer Fender Radiator Support Grille ETC, ETC.... You guys get the picture, now can some of you guru's come in and tell us (or correct me) about the rest of the stuff? |

I want this thread to be a reference for those people who may have lost the stock bolts, or the truck may not have come with them... You get the drift?

Re: Nuts, Bolts and Washers Thread
if a person has one bolt of each size and a tape measure and is reasonably intelligent that person wouldnt really need a "guide" to figure out what bolts are needed to put something together

Re: Nuts, Bolts and Washers Thread
I agree it's a good idea. I bought most of my frame bolts 3/8" Grade8 from Tractor Supply. They sell them in bulk and are waaay cheaper. I know that most body bolts are 3/8" or 5/16" but haven't labeled them all. I know that door hinge bolts are fine thread as well. All others so far are course. I'll try keeping track when I bolt it all back together over the next few months...
Then i'll help update your list.

Re: Nuts, Bolts and Washers Thread
Try Doc's house of bolts. Last truck I did, I took the bed apart for paint. I wanted polished stainless hardware, so I gave him all the sizes of the bolts for a metal bed floor and he fixed me up. He said he might offer that as a kit and he has lots of other kits for 67-72s.

Re: Nuts, Bolts and Washers Thread
Amazing that every person who posted missed the whole point of this fellows thread. He wanted to make a list of sizes of nuts/bolts for the truck. He wasn't looking for places to buy the hardware...

Re: Nuts, Bolts and Washers Thread
Someone asked about premade kits.There are kits available.I know Tim Christian carries the ones for the front fenders(J nuts and all).I think he carries some others.Not exactly an answer to the question that started this thread but someone asked.
