If you use stainless steel fasteners, use anti-seize and never use an impact or other power tool when installing them. If you use a non-standard fastener who will know? It is behind the seat. Most of our trucks are not Pebble Beach Concours candidates anyway. I prefer allen head cap screws, which are usually a better grade(8?)anyway installing and removing ease. BTW I use anti-seize on all fasteners that are not Loc-Tited. To each his own...
