Default help sorting bolts

I have some bolts that say "Rockford" on them with three lines. They appear to be bumper bolts. Would they be correct for a 63 or maybe 63 to 67?

Thanks
Jay

No picture available. I am thinking hardware store bolts although they look old and worn like you would expect an original bolt to look like.

Thanks

You're correct. No Rockford or Dorman bolts on any Corvette originally.

Rockford bolts are a hardware store bolt.
