Not sure what you are doing about bed bolts. If you are going polished stainless for the strips you can save a few bucks buying a box of bolts from HD and 5 seconds on a buffing wheel you can't tell the difference between them and the ones that come already polished. A little bit of work but if you are on a budget, every dollar counts. I splurged on the polished stainless bed strips but went cheap on the bolts.
