Hmmm, I thought this would start some conversation?

Ill bite. That was a very good link and explanation for grade differences. John

so now that i have spent probably 20hrs doing research on stainless steel bolts, would anyone be interested in a list of parts needed to replace every single bolt on the frame with s.s. when i'm done?

Is anyone interested in a kit that contains all original bolts, nuts, fasteners, washers, etc.... as in a complete kit of nuts and bolts to restore a truck to original with all new hardware. I once had a request to help a guy out create such a list of NOS part numbers and such.

And what do you think its worth?

Grade 8 does have better clamping ability, but there isn't anything on the frame that really needs that much clamping power in a regular driver truck.

Interesting.

I know. Still interesting. I've read over and over again......."number 8 bolts, number 8 bolts".
