Stainless fasteners

Is there somewhere I can buy a kit of stainless screws/bolts for the exterior of our trucks? I know LMC has a kit for the interior but I'm looking to replace all the screws that hold the marker lights and taillights, and the bolts on the mirrors as mine are all rusted...

You could go to Lowe's or Home depot. In the hardware section both have both screws and bolts in stainless steel. Just take a sample with you so you get the right size.

I get all the hardware for my truck from my local Ace hardware even grade 8 , for the larger grade 8 and odd stuff look for a local "Fastenall"

As mikeo0o0o0 said the home centers are also great and being able to bring in a pocket full of hardware to match up makes it simple

Looks like a piece at a time it is then.

Totally Stainless (Totally Stainless) appears to have some kits but they include a lot more than what I want.

Broncograveyard sells a kit. Not sure if that's what you are looking for because it comes with everything. But you can buy separate bolts/screws and not the entire kits.

Otherwise, I agree with just going to your local hardware store.

I just can't see paying LMC or anyone to pick screws out for me and i did buy the interior kit from LMC just to see if it was better quality and all i can say is we are all different and so are our trucks and bank accounts.

I've used kits before for interior and underhood on other projects. For exterior fasterners on my Dent I just did as others have posted and went to ACE.
