Where can you get new OEM style Door Hinge Bolts? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am trying to find a source to buy brand new door hinge bolts for the 67-72 Chevy Trucks. Every company that sells automotive fasteners says that they are not available.

I thought I would post this to see what other builders have done or used if there original bolts were rusted or just plain missing. I am looking for indented hex-head bolts only, no stainless steel bolts.

Thanks!

FYI the bolt is a 3/8x1" fine thread, indented hex-head body bolt with loose washer.

I'm not sure why you would need brand new ones. There should be quite a few nice originals floating around. Just a thought....

Lots'a old iron used those same bolts. I went to the local Pull & Save yard and got a bag of 'em. Ran 'em all thru a bead blaster and used the best ones on my truck. Spent a dollar and an hour.

Can you not just go to home depot and grab some fine thread bolts?

I work at a restoration parts store and just wanted to be able to sell them new just like the originals. These are just about the only bolts we have never been able to sell other than the stainless ones. You would be suprised how many of our customers ask for them.
