On a recent chassis rebuild, I bought everything needed from the local Ace hardware store. Used all Grade 8 hex bolts, washers, and nuts.
Granted, it took a few trips to finally remember to get everything but it's not too far away.
On key suspension mounting points, I wouldn't recommend stainless bolts which are more hard (brittle) and could fail especially if overtightened.
BTW, Grade 8 bolts are coated to resist corrosion. Most all original GM bolts were Grade 5 or lower.

I bought a kit from totally stainless. Ill order from them again when I do my 49 truck. They also now make a grade 8 stainless bolt for suspension, before all they had was grade 5...Eric

P.S just make sure you install some anti sieze on those stainless bolts.
