Stovebolt.com Forums The Shop Area Making a Stovebolt Bed 1957 Chevy 1/2 ton step side bed panel bolts

I'm checking to see if anyone has recently assembled their bed sheetmetal. I have an assortment of hex washer head bolts that I think belong to the front fenders. I looked at the factory assembly manual, and I can't tell if the bed panel bolts are plain hex heads or not. Can anyone give me a hint about this? I did try to cross the part numbers from the drawings, but they don't appear in any of my parts books.
Thank you,
Larry

The exposed bolt head inside the bed should be rounded clutch head. Go to LMC or classicparts.com and look up the bolt kits for the fenders. They look like this. You could also use Phillips head

Thank you for your reply. I do have the clutch head bolts. I’m trying to figure out what the bolts look like that are used to assemble the bed side to the front panel and to the rear crossmember.

I misunderstood. They are hex head bolts. Unless you are going to paint them after assembly I would use the stainless bolts/nuts
