Lmc Truck, Tuckers, Classic Industries....and I do believe that the rubber pads are factory (keep ths squeaks away).

That's what the factory basically used too.

And the are a **** load cheaper even in galvanized.

Yep, mine came from Lowe's. Although in hindsight, I wish I would have got stainless from somewhere. Pulling the bed back off this next year probably won't be much fun.

Stainless is nice but doesn’t have the strength of regular steel and unless you pay for good stainless your gonna get low grade crap that will corrode anyway

That's what I have planned- yet to install. Fastenal has good quality stainless stuff.

Fastenal does seem to be good quality, but I always thought it was pretty damn pricey.

That because they are geared towards industrial and contractor accounts not to the extent of Grainger or McMaster Carr but kinda the same. I know we used to get a pretty nice discount but not so sure since the buyout

I figured that was the case. Where I'm at, sometimes it's go Fastenal, or mail order it and wait a week, or drive 75 miles one way to get to OKC. You can get nearly anything local, except the stainless stuff, so I rarely use them. It is nice having access to Fastenal though.

Not too bad for good stainless - $94.86 for the bolts plus a bag of 25 nuts for $13.96 = $108.82:

Maybe that's why I think they are pricey, usually when I'm having to buy from them it's nearly always stainless. And I guess good stanless is damn expensive. lol
