Control arm shaft hardware - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone know where can I find the hardware for the post-73 style control arm shafts? I'm looking for some 'new' freshly plated hardware for my a-arms (just the washers & nuts that keep the shaft bushings in place).

when I did mine a few months back, I ordered new GM nuts and powdercoated the stock washers.

1st place I checked but they list complete packages vs independent pieces. I have a catalog I'm going to sort through & see if they break down farther than what the web indicates. I figured it would be worth asking on here to see if there were possibly any 'local' alternatives.

Thanks....

I wound up getting some 'shallow' nylock style nuts for the upper a-arms @ Fastenall.

I painted the OE style washers & will add some SS washers behind the nylock nuts to keep things from getting all scratched up (whole chassis is done that way).
