Completing a frame off resto. Chassis is mostly complete and painted body is now on chassis. I have mostly everything I need to put it back together, except for all of the broken, stripped and rusted nuts, bolts and screws I removed when I disassembled. What a pain in the ass. The majority of my time is running back and forth to the hardware store for one or two nuts, bolts or screws. Rant over. Is there a comprehensive list of what size nut, bolt or screw is needed (for everything)?

I've been there too, literally wore a path leading to Fastenal and Tractor Supply. Check Bronco Graveyard, I think they have complete kits for body and chassis. Good Luck. Jim :cool:

I feel your pain as well...

I know the nut and bolt section of my local Ace Hardware better than the folks that work there.
Bought so many small bags of hardware at Fastenal that they asked me to open an account!

I've spent a small fortune in stainless hardware at Home Depot doing the build on mine. Seems like every time I start to work on something I have to stop and go to the store to buy more damn bolts. The below thread had some good information on nuts and bolts. The pre-packaged bolt kits are nice but they don't include things like dash mounting hardware, or pedal mounting, or underbody stuff, or seats, or windshield, hood, etc. And if you are doing something custom or different you are on your own.

I thought most of the vendors at the top of the page had 'complete' hardware sets.

If you have a Rural King in your area they are cheaper than any, they also have grade 5 and 8 plus metric. The grade 2 stuff is 1.49 a pound.

Pretty sure both JBG and WH have kits. I bought a kit from JBG for the front clip at least.

I did that as well, then had to back and grill trim clips.
I have been getting a pound of hardware at tractor supply about every trip I make lol

Amk is the way to go for me. They are a godsend when restoring an old Ford. Hardware store bolts look out of place to me. Quality AN or grade 5 or 8 hardware is really expensive when buying a few at a time. Ford used specific hardware that for the most part is not available at the hardware store. Amk kits come bagged and tagged to make it easy. I tend to lean toward the resto vs modified camp, so the original look and finishes are important to me. I have used Amk products on more than one Mustang I've restored, so I naturally went to them for Bronco fasteners.
