Bulk purchase.....
For non critical parts, like sheet metal on a cab 11.....
Try TSC....Tractor Supply C...... you can buy by the pound any size of washers and bolts all zinc and grade 5..... at about $3.75 a pound.... just grab a handfull of these, those, them and that and go to the cash...... saves having to count and put them in individual bags.
I have yet to buy a pound of 1/4 - 20 nuts and count them to see if it is cheaper than Fastenal..... but faster and cheaper than Home Despot...... last batch was $46 for 12.82 pounds........
Flea markets who sell prebagged fasteners can be a bargain but you must be able to read the head symbols and carry a caliper...... some sell High Quality manufacturing surplus.....
