Maybe same as car?

Thanks, I just sent him the link. The car ones seem to have a few diff size ones but your link only showed one and yep that number might be the same as one of the ones used on them also.

What has really surprised me for finding Chevy truck parts and not finding like a few large catalogs that deal with trucks only like I have found and saved for my friend on his 56 f100.
Some of the catalogs are 200 pages of stuff for them along with pictures with numbers and then the list of parts below them. Just had to get the best prices and then place an order and save on shipping.
The only time I had to ask questions on the Ford forum was trying to locate some parts for the rear doors that are not reproduced and a guy sent me what he needed and with a little re working he now has working locking rear doors on his panel truck

Duke, you certainly go above and beyond to help your customers and I bet you receive a lot of referral business.

Since I do all my shopping on line I am not sure about catalog sizes now, though in the past I've had fairly large ones from LMC, Brothers, Classic Trucks, and other companies I am not recalling.

There is a lot of support out there. In fact, all the body panels for a 47 - 53 Chevy are reproduced so it is possible to pretty much create one from catalogs.

On the hood hinge bolts, There were two sizes, what they make today is the larger so it may be necessary to drill the hinge bolt hole to fit. Get your bolts first then powder coat if they fit.

my truck had broken hood bolts when I bought it, I got them from bowtie bits, fit perfect

Thanks again guys for the info. I sent the link to my customer on the set from bowtie and copied the picture with the numbers that will help him a lot also.

I also had told him about the forum and he said he would be interested in it so I will send him a link on what I have been asking and then he can see how much you guys have helped me and him and let him go from there I guess?

Sure, he would be welcome. Always happy to meet another old GM truck fan.
