Where is the best place to order the screws to fasten the hinges to the cab. The cheapest ones I have found so far are $3.00 each and I need 12. There has got to be a cheaper place than Fastenal. I believe the size is 5/16 24x about 1/2 to 3/4 inch long.

thanks,

Oscar

would you rather have originals? I can help, PM sent

 

I just went to my local hardware store and got some flat head allen head screws - around fifty cents each I think (been awhile). I wasn't interested in original and figured the allens would be easier than dealing with the phillips again (not fun when frozen).

 

I too used hardened allen head flathead bolts from my local fastener store when I needed to replace the ones on my rear door hinges on my panel.

Home Depot has the exact looking bolts, flange and all. They are just a little longer but still fit exactly in the pocket. I had to go buy some a few weeks back. Don't remember the exact price but was definitely less than what your talking about. I wan't to say less than a dollar for a set of 2 which they are bundled 2 each per bag.

 

That was $13.35 for a pack of 25 stainless steel screws.
