Still, has anyone considered figuring out how many bolts are actually in one of these trucks? How many bolts are in just the motor alone? The glove box, for example, has 4 on the two hinges, and one on the latch, and so on. Anyone want to weigh in on this? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Never gave it a second thought. I believe there is a vendor or two that have a bolt "package" but I'm confident it doesn't have the summary your looking for. Mmmmm, maybe a good project for you to return and report on in a year or so  I just know that there are a lot of them. It's also my belief there are about as many screws as there are bolts!! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 |
