In either case - black oxide finish? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 122 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 122 | '53 3100, 1/2 ton deluxe cab, 5 window. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
I think that most of them on my 1954 1/2 tons were recessed hex head black finish.

Got it! Those black anodized indented hex head bolts look the best, to me. Thanks everyone for the input. | | |
