Steel floor Hardware

[70K10Hunter]

Well I am almost ready to start assembling my bed parts and actually have a truck bed, I have been looking around without any luck as to hardware bolt strength (IE:gr2 gr5 gr8) carriage bolts to assemble my bed with.everything I find is gr2 in zinc coated I guess that would be OK for the 1"X 5/16 bolts but the bolts that secure the bed to the truck, all I can find is gr2 that seems weak. I was checking my original bolts out and if I cant find anything stronger I will try to use my originals as they seem a little higher grade. Anybody notice this or have the same dilemma? Have a source? not really wanting to use stainless.

Good site with reasonable shipping. One stop shopping.

there is no need for any type of histrength type fasteners when bolting the bed together or for that fact onto the frame

i just go to the local fastener store and buy stainless stuff// it ispretty much just being able to count the number of empty holes and gettin the proper size and number to fill them/// for people that cannot count and measure there are KITS u can pay shipping on from vendors

Yeh fully aware of the kits just wanted to match what is existing, everything today is of lower quality. I found what I was looking for at Mc Master Carr.
