Preparing the Body Mount Hardware

I’ve been working on the body mounting hardware. I have not been able to find the cab to frame bolts and washers from when I took the truck apart so I ordered a set of those. Unfortunately only part of the order arrived and I still need to find nuts but we are getting there! For the bed to frame bolts I have 6 of 8 since two broke during disassembly. I’ve plated what I have and I bought new bolts from the Budget Bolt here in town. I don’t really like using the new bolts because they have different head sizes but I have not be able to find replacements for the original bolts anywhere. Also they are black oxide. Maybe I will plate them too at some point to match the others. I ordered new bed to frame bushings and they look great! The cab to frame bushings from Energy Suspension are also very nice quality.
