Are you familiar with the installation process? It's a little more involved than shooting some pop rivets in sheetmetal

Thanks mate
There was a guy in the 45 section that used carriage bolts to get the look.
His thread is in the 45 sticky section.
Start about 1/2 way down the page.
3 days and 3300 miles later
Be careful not to get too involved in the thread. You'll be stuck there for days.

Good Luck if you decide to give it a go..........it's not hard with the right tools and materials
While it may give the look I would shy away from carriage bolts.....grade 5 hardware is not something I would use on a frame.Especially if you plan on using the truck off the pavement.Not sure about Australia but the majority of the hardware in the US is imported from China.I would trust wooden pegs in my frame before I would trust Chinese bolts of low strength and quality.

As i said to remain legal i must have the rivets and i would prefer them because its definitely something that is going to less pavement
