McMaster-carr has along list of supplies that may be helpful in repairing these old trucks. They have the thick headed bolts for one. They are non-automotive, but industrial. Check them out on line! Shelby, Louisiana.

I used them before for my starter bolts. When I got them in I just ground back the grade markings and did a little shaping with the belt sander, then blended with my sandblaster. And the bolts were a near perfect match to Henry's.

I bought a pile of very good reproduction hardware from a vendor at Hershey a few years ago. Everything was correctly Parkerized and machined as original. I got his price list but somehow it dissapeared on the trip home so I have no way to contact him.
