The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk bolt/nut/washer inventory

Taking apart my '50 3100 and have an obscene about a zip lock baggies full of busted bolts and rusty nuts. I know I could go through them all and make my own list but was wondering if anyone has already made an inventory of all the different sizes needed to replace all the sheetmetal bolts and nuts.

The bolt kits in the catalogs I have don't share that information and I'd like to price it out at my local Fastenal shop to see if I can save some $$.

Thanks.

If your Fastenal is like mine, you won't!

What I did is I took every job and broke it down say I was going to mount the rear fenders I wrote down every thing I would need and go to my local Ace hardware and get the hardware in stainless to do the job ,I was in no hurry so it didn't matter and the store is only 3 blocks away ,also they give reward points and you get cards for money off.It might have been cheaper to get the kits I really never sat down an added it up ,but I quess I wanted the bolts and nuts that I wanted to install.I also put all the old nuts and bolts in zip lock bags and wrote on the bag were they came from and would look at them to get the sizes that I would need .

Ace was not as expensive as alot of places around here and they always had what I needed.

This is from Larry's site. granted it's GMC, but the similarities to Chevy are extensive. I have found it very helpful.

Billy Bob is 1955 1st series Chevrolet 1/2 ton truck

The similarities to earlier Advance-Design (Chevrolet) trucks are almost as extensive.
