Could we put together a thread on bolt identification for those of us doing restorations?

[GNVAIR]

My Buick has been off the road now for 12 years. The body has been separated from the frame for about 8 years. This past summer I got the bug to get moving on it again. So far I have finished the frame and suspension. I am currently working on the body. As I have been working on things I have been cleaning everything down to nuts and bolts. I am replating any hardware that looks worn, rusted or substandard.
The problem is that I am having a hard time identifying which bolts attached certain things.
Currently I am trying to identify the bolts that retain the front brake hose brackets to the frame in the front.
The bolts that retain the 2 exhaust hanger brackets in the rear and the 4 upper shock absorber mounting bolts in the back. I am sure that I am not the only one doing this who needs assistance. Pictures would be great. Thanks in advance!

the exhaust hanger bolts are unique as they are the only ones on the car with a hollow body (drilled up the center)..they have 13mm head and use no nut (threads are in the hanger)

the body bolts for lines and brackets for brakes are just 13mm shoulder head coarse thread bolts (black phosphorus ) with a pointy end (listed as .. bolt, HFH (m8x1.25x18 )9.8 phos ... 11518280)

the shock absorber bolts are a m8x1.25 x20 (13mm head) , the nut is unique as they are the only ones like it on the entire car , unlike the bumper hardware nuts the shock nut is crimp head nut (top edges are rolled over) so it doesnt need a lock nut

its all in the 87 buick illustrated manual

Thank you for the fast response. Where can I get a copy of the 87 Buick illustrated manual?

Would you be able to post the picture and parts list for the front suspension and steering?
