I probably have the OEM bolts/nuts & washers if that is what you're looking for. I can get the correct amount from the PIM. Let me know if that's what you want
FYI,you need to use the OEM washers as they have teeth to grip the bracket/frame.

Hello Chris and welcome to CO.


There is a lot of good people here that will sometimes donate smaller parts just to see more of these Oldsmobiles get back out on the streets!


Some vendors to try when all else fails


AMK is a automotive hardware supplier

Fusick is a manufacture and seller of Olds parts

Good info for me too, as mine came with the bumper separate and the brackets AWOL. Got the brackets, but no bolts, etc, etc, so I'll be on those, too.

Or you can just measure the diameter of the hole, go to the local fastener house and get some GR8's for a whole lot less than $35 + freight. Get some strip calk to shove in your socket to somewhat hold the bolt when you go through the frame holes.

I would use the Year One units because you get nice finished parts as mine would be rusty and would need cleaning and refinishing. By the time I find them and get them shipped,you can already have them from Year One.

I bought new replacement bolt/nut/washer set from ILT and they were 100% perfect. It was for the rear bumper of my 72. There is absolutely NO parts crib in a hardware store that sells those washers with the teeth on them. And you don't want to use a simple lock washer because it just won't hold in place like it should. I don't know if the bolts are the same for 67, but here's a link to ILT's on line store showing the bolts/washers Bumper frame mount kit and it seems pretty reasonable for 22.00. If nothing else you can get a good look at what those 'tooth' washers look like.

If you can get the parts from someone on the site, that would be great.

Maybe for the bolt and nut Eric, but that washer is special. In for a penny, in for a pound. The reproduction set is phosphate coated so it even looks stock going in. IMO it's worth the $ to go with it.
