Can anyone please advise me on where I can buy replacement clutch head hardware (nuts and bolts) for my 51 Chevy 1/2 ton PU.
Looks like there are at least 10 different sizes/length combinations. I will reuse as much as possible, however 25% have stripped and broken during restoration.

Do any of suppliers sell a "bag of various replacement clutch head bolts?
Many thanks for your review and advise.

Your bolts are available from Chev's of the 40's and The Filling Station. Also numerous other places stock these type bolts.

I think Jim Carter's sells 'em too.

Another option is to find an old school hardware store in your area, they may be able to order them for you.

We just finished our 52 pick up and we looked high and low for clutch head bolts. While a few are available from the vendors mentioned above, they are limited to things like the rear fender to box bolts, and that's about it. We did finally find a supplier that had many more to offer, but you need to measure the old ones you have, and then order them in quantities needed. The good thing is that you can order just the quatity you need. They have a web site www.restorationspecialties.com and it really helped us find almost all that we needed. Suggest you order their catalogue first and go from there.
