Greetings, I am in the early stages of completely rebuilding/preserving my 57 3200. Some of the fasteners that were on the truck to mount inner & outer fenders, the bed, etc were obviously not original. Also, I found that my cab bolts (cab to frame) were totally missing (!) I have the factory assembly manual which gives part numbers, but I'm not finding the specs for these part numbers which I could use to locate correct replacement parts.
Can anyone suggest a way to go from Chevy part number to part number spec? Also, any suggestions on the best place(s) to get these kinds of fasteners (maybe a kit containing complete sets of fasteners)? Finally, any suggested sources for grommets/other rubber parts that I'll be needing? There seems to be a wide range of quality and price out there, I am willing to pay a fair price for good quality parts, if that helps.
Thanks in advance...
