Stainless bolt kit?
Hello. I am currently working on rebuilding a 1996 F.250 pickup truck. I am looking for a stainless bolt kit for bolting the front clip all back together but haven't been able to find anything.
Is there anyone out there that makes a stainless kit for these trucks?


Thanks

if you want stainless, youll have to order everything individually to match what you need.

You could probably take one of each bolt and match them in stainless at Home Depot or similar hardware store

That's going to be a pricey bolt kit. Why stainless?

I agree...The bolts in my 19 year old truck still come off here in NC. How many times would you need to take your truck apart?

As many times as one needs to.

I always go back with SS & anti-seize where ever possible & practical.

Try McMaster-Carr cheaper than Lowe's and they have all sizes metric & std. Usually have to buy in qty of 25 or so.

To each his own. That's what makes it a hobby! Seems excessive though. Good luck hunting the SS down
