Fasteners for Truck Body Manufacturers

Vibration Loosening

Road and engine vibration backs out underspecified fasteners over time, creating rattles, leaks, and warranty calls. Locking hardware and structural rivets solve it at the source.

Corrosion Failure

De icing salt, brine, and winter moisture attack untreated steel fast. The right plating, coating, or stainless option keeps joints sound through years of punishing service.

Structural Underspec

Subframes, crossmembers, hinges, and mounting points carry real shear and tension loads. Grade 5 and Grade 8 hardware gives you the strength margin those joints demand.

Structural Bolts & Nuts

Grade 5 and Grade 8 hex bolts, flange bolts, nylon insert lock nuts, and serrated flange nuts for subframes, crossmembers, and liftgate brackets.

Self Drilling Screws

Attach sheet panels, interior linings, and trim without a pre drilled hole. The right point and coating combination holds in steel and aluminum alike.

Structural Rivets & Nutserts

Klik Lock structural rivets, large flange, close end, and nutserts for skin panels, toolboxes, headache racks, and any blind joint where you can only reach one side.

Pins & Retainers

Clevis, cotter, hitch, and lynch pins for tailgate latches, hinges, liftgate linkages, and pivoting components that need to stay serviceable in the field.

Washers

Flat, lock, and fender washers in Grade 8 for load distribution on structural joints, mounting points, and suspension hardware.

Threaded Rod & Studs

All thread rod and studs for custom mounting, U bolt fabrication, and one off bracketry where a standard bolt length does not fit.

Electrical Components

Cable ties, terminals, lugs, wire, heat shrink, and loom for marker lights, work lighting, liftgate power, and trailer harnesses.

Clamps & Fittings

Hose clamps, grease fittings, and chain and cable products for hydraulic lines, air lines, lube points, and load securement.

Stop Firefighting
Stockouts

Buying fasteners one purchase order at a time is how production lines end up stalled, waiting on a box of bolts. FD Systems keeps the right hardware on your floor without tying up cash in oversized inventory.

Production buyers need a supply partner, not just another vendor catalog.

Stock & Lock

Lock in pricing and guaranteed stock availability on the parts you run every day, without carrying the cost of a larger inventory. Protects against price increases and stockouts simultaneously.

Vendor Managed Inventory

Fasteners Direct takes responsibility for managing your fastener stock using usage data and forecasting. Your team spends time building bodies, not counting bins and cutting reorders.

Sure Stock

Self managed online reordering built for production floors that want full control without outside personnel walking around their facility. Reorder on your schedule, your way.

Custom Kitting & Labeling

Every fastener for a given body, assembly, or work order packaged under one part number at no extra charge. Add your own labels and part numbers so kits drop straight into your process.
