Master Bolt & Nut Kit

Hello i'm restoreing a 72 F100 and 80% of the nuts and bolts are really rusted. Do they make master kit? If so where would i find them. I've had to cut them because the threads are so rusted. I tried to unbolt them but they either complely turn or break off.

I know there is a company that offers "OEM" type bolts for restoration work. Can't recall the name, though a friend uses them alot for his Galaxie project. Ames? something like that.

SS bolts are nice but often they are not as strong as a grade 5. Make sure you find out what strength they are before you buy a set. For engine replacements use ARP, they cost a lot more but are very high quality and usually stronger than grade 8.
