A "little" hardware - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've been busy the last few weeks. Other than common nuts & washers, I "may" have inventoried everything here, right down to the stamps.

They don't come any cleaner than this. I'm sending this out for coating or plating. Basically small parts that are clear or black. Anything that didn't need to be refinished isn't included, which is mainly a few interior parts and stainless.

With the time spent and considering it's near impossible to replace these, I'd say next to my cab and bed, I hold these as a unit to a lot of value. I probably wouldn't do it again. It's just too tedious, and I/m "lucky" this stuff was nice to begin with.

There are a few spares. It would be easier to say what's not here, which are:

Some block bolts (trans, intake, heads, valve cover).
About half of my inner fender bolts were pitted, so I picked up some NOS.
Think I had the wrong exhaust manifold bolts, so I picked up NOS.
Haven't torn down the suspension, nor steering linkage yet. That's next, I've been avoiding it
Pitted was chucked. There wasn't much of that. The hardware on this truck held up nicely.
