I always harvest hardware and parts off of trucks when I find them in the yards. Sometime you just don't have or can't find the OEM type automotive fasteners you need to finish a project and have it look correct. Hardwares are short on automotive fasteners and car shops and body shops are usually not too excited about spending their time looking for a special clip for an old vehicle. They have mostly moved on from stocking this stuff and only have stuff for newer vehicle, which means they have a lot of 2 sided tape, metric bolts and odd plastic inserts.

As far as kits go I was looking at a disc brake conversion the other day and I did my '69 for half what the kit cost. NAPA, Autozone and 71/72 spindles from a board member which I picked up saved me a lot.
