Where can I buy OE-type (control arm bolts)

I'm going to be doing a complete (front and back) control arm bushing replacement. The original control arm bolts look a bit rusty, and I'd like to replace all 8 rear bolts and the 4 front lower bolts.

Any idea where I can get them? Aftermarket would work too.


Thanks!

Also replace the upper A-arm bolts while it is apart. They are often overstressed by alignment gorillas.
It is very bad when these break...

If you do not care about original looks, get some std SAE grade 8 bolts from tractor supply (or wherever) that are similar size and thread to the metric ones that are in there now.

But, their vehicle catalogs are a bit thin & Chebby related....so may need to know the size/specs and have to look it up in the [Bulk] area.

I bought a ton of fasteners for my '68 from them. Friendly people, nice products, decent prices, & shipped quick....
