I have a K5 I am building from the ground up.:laugh: The problem is it was apart when I got it and most of the nuts and bolts are not with it.:(

Where could I find what bolts/nuts sizes go to different parts of a total rebuild such as this.:confused: Stopping and hunting for every bolt each time I want to put something together is stressing me out not counting slowing the build down.:mad:

Thanks for any input.

that would be a good start, and then go buy $100.00 worth of grade 8 fasteners in 1/4 to 1/2 sizes to have on hand so they are there when you need them, and clean and new too:eek1: :eek1:
 
Dealers parts books..

If you can get a parts book from a Dealer's parts counter, or on E-bay,etc,they list all the bolt thread pitches and length,etc..saves a bunch of guessing and buying bolts that wont fit..some of the bolts are special length,or shouldered ones that you must get from GM or a boneyard,as in seat belts,and the shifter bolt on a NP205 ,etc..:crazy:
 
Check some restoration places. I know they have complete bolt kits out there for classic cars and someone may have one or be willing to make one for you. Just a thought. I don't think year one has them but some place like that. Does LMC have a hardware kit available?
 
Anyone around here have such a book? You know where I am going with this - I would beg, borrow or rent such a book from somone.

Again for a '74 K5 Blazer or a vintage close to that would probably work.

By the way, thanks for all the great input.

Go to LMC's site and order their catalog, alot of info, obscure parts and bolt kits in it.
 
Thanks for all of the help. I ordered the e-bay manual today and will advise if it is worth the $$$$ or not.

Thanks again,
