Nuts and bolts

It's time for me to get the needed fasteners to put my truck back together.
I want to use SS for most everything. Does anyone know where I can get flanged SS bolts from. I don't want to buy a kit there over priced and I would like to pick the bolts I need.
Thanks for the help

Re: Nuts and bolts

I got most of my SS bolts from Lowes in the specialty section/hardware

Re: Nuts and bolts

I will give you a warning about stainless bolts. You have to be careful with some bolts coming from overseas nowadays. One thing you want know is if using a stainless bolt and stainless nut: sometimes they can seize together and twist-off. Im talking new stuff. I had a 1/2" nut seize on a bolt and i had to cut it off. Always use a "never-seize" product. I use the permatex brand. Some stainless bolts are hard to drill. I reccomend only using them in areas that are seen.

I have been down that road as well, I always use never-seize.

Re: Nuts and bolts

Hey farmer, I get most of my bolts from Parkrose Hardware which is an Ace Hardware affiliate. They have a huge selection of stainless. I really haven't looked for flange bolts but if they don't have them they can probably get them for you. They also have a selection of polished and chrome behind the counter if you ask.

Re: Nuts and bolts

It is my experience that stainless bolts are not nearly as strong as graded automotive bolts, keep that in mind. Should be OK for putting a bed together.

If you are looking for bolts for bed strips, search for carriage bolts. All the soureces listed so far are good.

Re: Nuts and bolts

I haven't bought stainless flange bolts, but I have bought plated steel flange bolts from Fastenal. You have to buy in package quantity from Fastenal, and they are on the pricey side in my experience.
