Re: Hood Bolts??

You both realize that they are special sholdered bolts correct? You can't use just regular bolts. You might just want to pick up a set from Classic truck parts of America.

Good luck

Re: Hood Bolts??

Its an american thread and although they are shoulder bolts, function wise they do not need to be. I used over the counter s.s. bolts with 2 size s.s. washers and it looks and functions just fine.

Gee guess I got lucky, in 85 mine were pretty crusty so I just used standard grade 5 hex bolts and washers. They worked for 15 years as a dd. I think the original intent of the shoulder bolts with the knurled backs was to eliminate the need for lock washers on the assembly line.

Re: Hood Bolts??

what about the ones on the hood ? not the hinge to body side...
a regular bolt is too sloppy,right?
talking about a 51 hood..
