     To get an answer that can help you, we need your help first. 
     Do not assume everyone can remember what vehicle you are talking about in each post, the year, make, model ( ie, 74 k10 ), and what you have if asking about specific item like size of your engine if asking about say different heads that you could use, should be included in your post if you are asking questions about your vehicle.

some of the parts you listed are supposed to be rivets. but you can replace them with bolts. and tell you the truth most time i have to grab a handful and try then to see what fits best. (helps to have a nut bin)

I was/am going with grade 8 or better. Was just hoping to get a few on order and delivered before I get back home. I'm active duty military so I only get back home for a few days at a stretch.
