Toyota fasteners

Does anyone know of a good source for toyota fasteners? I've googled and gotten mixed results. Nothing seems to be complete. Hondas for example have entire kits of nuts and bolts and screws for their cars. I need the most used sizes for my truck. My rig looks like it was a test subject in a rust study. Most of the fasteners that I remove just crumble. I got myself a thread chaser to clean out the threads, but I need to be sure that I have the proper screws and such for the holes I'm cleaning.

Dealer and local hardware store. Invest in a bolt sizer.

There is plenty of OEM toyota parts suppliers online. Most have diagrams with part numbers.

Most common thread pitch is 1.25.

You'll see M8, M10, M12, M14 most often too. Unless you're getting into the bigger stuff.

He may mean plastic clips and such? Like say the clips that hold a grill on, etc.

I buy all my JIS bolts from Pointe Products out of Michigan. Most Hardware stores don`t carry the reduced head bolts so the one you get for a M10 bolt will take a 17mm wrench instead of the normal 14

My Toyota dealer is great for those special bolts like for drive shafts fly wheels etc.

Thanks guys. I was asking basically for common sizes. A bolt sizer doesn't help when the bolt is crumbling from rust

I searched for JIS bolts and came up with these. Would these be good sizes for the truck?

I also looked up pointe products and found this, thanks a lot!

Only you can tell what your needs are.

With me I own a fleet of Toyota vehicles so a little plastic box like the first link just doesn`t cut it for me. But that might be all you need to get by.

Over the years I have been refining the bolts to the sizes I seem to use the most.

It never fails no matter how many $$$ you have in hardware you always need something you don`t have .

I have been buying from Pointe Prouducts for years and have always had great service once in a while they will be out of stock of an item.

Since none of the local bolt suppliers stock the bolts I needed although they were all willing to set up a bin restocking would be a pain now I just pick up the phone or order on line.

As of late if I need washers ,M6x1.00 bolts or nuts I just add them to my McMaster-Carr order

I have numerous Toyota original bolts, nuts, clips, etc. from my 1983 truck that are in mint to excellent condition. Tell me what you need and I will check my stash. I replaced just about all of the bolts and hardware on my truck with polished grade 8-10 stainless. I use anti-seize compound when installing any bolt then they are easy to remove-even after 28 years. When you get old like me, you just don't like busted knuckles anymore

Well I'm not sure of the sizes. I've taken off the fenders, hood and front bumper. I'm not sure if I have any bolts that are pristine. I used improper sized bolts just to get it back together. I'm planning to get under the truck with a wire brush and some sort of rust eater(any recommendations?) After that I will spray it with black paint and bedliner. I'm also going to replace the back leafsprings I will need to get new shackles and all of the fasteners for that. You should see under there, it's terrible! I'm going to try to take a picture of it and post it on here.
