I had my 69 front bumper recently rechromed, so I' figured I'd order new bolts. When I recieved the repro's that had a chrome plated cap pressed on them, I was ticked and called the supplier! He told me all the bolts, regardless where I bought them would be like that. Is this true, and if so, could someone "hook" me up with where I can purchase some REAL one piece OEM type bolts! Thanks.

I will check my stock at home for you, I bought a bunch about 20 years ago and still have them. I don't think they have chrome caps, but it's been a while since I've seen them up close. If you like, let me know how many you need and I can probably send you some.

My OEM bolts have caps, stainless steel I think.

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Went to a bolt and screw company and bought polished stainless steel ones that look great. Probably not original but they look good.

Sorry to say, mine have caps. I'm sure you could find stainless somewhere, like jeffry72. Good Luck. P.S. updated with my email.

Mine has caps as well...

the trick is the head type.. some vendors sell the mushroom head vs. flat head.. they are different for different years I believe. But some vendors sell one for all years.
