When I stripped a Silverado, I kept all kinds of crap that I thought I MIGHT be able to use. Mounts, crossmember for the tranny, nuts, bolts, brackets, overflow bottle, hoses etc....You can't have enough crap lying around when you start swapping, at least for someone on a budget anyway. I used as much stuff out of the Silverado that I could in my s10. Most all the bolts are metric and sometimes difficult to find, I kept a big box of misc wiring, relays and and assortment of hardware that I still have in my shop. I dig in the box occasionally to fix stuff.
