81 bumper hardware?

Took off my front bumper on the trekker to give it the whole rattle can paint job and the bolts/nuts are super rusted. Are these special sizes or should napa have them?

You should be able to get some carriage bolts from any hardware store that sells metric hardware. I would go with stainless if possible

this is a real challenge actually .. I have been threw this a few times , specially if you want stock looking hardware . there are 3 on the top that are smaller dia.
I was able to find some threw a aftermarket supplier , but sorry , I don't recall the part #'s .. I would think NAPA should be able to help

Not like this would help, but when a bolt on my old F150 came out of the caliper and somehow got lost I had to go to an ACE Hardware to get the right size, shape, thread space. I checked all the auto parts places, and nothing. So even check the hardware stores.

Sandblast your existing bolts and paint chrome powdercoat whatever.

you can put rusted old bolts in a mixture of molasses and water for a few days, its an old timey trick that really does work.
