McMaster-Carr's shipping is really good. I've ordered some bolts/nuts from them and it was ~$4 for shipping.

Or you could go to a local fastener store (like where I work) and buy the stainless screws and finish washers for about $.03 each.

In the Portland/Vancouver metro area:
Cascade Nut & Bolt
Industrial Fastener Inc.
Vancouver Bolt
Viking Bolt
Northwest Fastener Sales
Ideal Fastener
Portland Screw
Also Ace or True Value hardware stores.
Or you could drive down to Eugene and see me at Nielsen Fastener.

However I recall when I was restoring a 37 Chev PU many years ago, that some of these folks won't sell to individuals or require a large minimum purchase.
