Sway bar bolts and nuts
Does anyone know where I can buy new bolts and nuts for my 1978 Chevy C10 Custom Deluxe 305 pickup? Thanks Al

Re: Sway bar bolts and nuts
Any hardware store? They are not special. They are 3/8 X 16 X 1 1/4 inch bolts. I personally use grade 8 on all chassis components. But Grade 5 is perfectly fine and OEM

Re: Sway bar bolts and nuts
I was going to say hardware store as well. I used grade 5 for my sway bar and it holds up fine.

Re: Sway bar bolts and nuts
older post but relevant, do we want to use Stainless Steel bolts so they won't rust? and are those grade 8 bolts that look like they have a gold finish stainless? will they rust?

Re: Sway bar bolts and nuts
Hey Gregski, a couple of weeks ago 77c10 told me about a warehouse right here in my town. I had no idea it was even here. I have been getting some grade 8 and some grade 5 depending on the purpose. Form and function...

Re: Sway bar bolts and nuts
You can use stainless if you want, it's quite expensive. I had no issue taking my swaybar off last year after it had been on for 4 years. Bolts were all crusty too, no issues.
Tractor Supply Co is a great source for bolts, if you are going to buy a lot of them they sell by the pound. |

Re: Sway bar bolts and nuts
Either way, a llittle bit of anti-seize will prevent rusting/corrosion on non-stainless & galling on stainless.
