    65 bumper bolts

    I just pulled my bumpers to get them rechromed (they have never been off the car before). I found it interesting that on the rear, all the drivers side bolts had a "M" head marking and all the pass. side one were "TR". All the front bolts were "TR" except for 1 "M" ( and the "WB" lower brace bolts). Not earth shaking, just interesting.

    Jim, maybe they had one guy on each side of the assy. line reaching into two different buckets of bolts, mixed bolt marking was common although the years, I know John H. will comment he knows every detail on the assy. lines.

      It will be interesting to see how many different head marks there are. I took all mine off and tossed them in a used bolt bucket twelve years ago. Then found out about the NCRS. I retrieved them and they are all "RSC" bolts.

        Jim -

        Not unusual at all - fastener bins were re-stocked only by part number, and most fasteners had multiple sources for the same part number, with each source having its own head mark. Neither the stockman or the assembler paid any attention at all to head marks - the stockman filled the bins by the part number on the box, and all the assembler cared about was having the correct hex size that fit his socket and the right length to do the job.
