Default Rubi rail/Sahara step mounting hardware?

Anyone know where I can get the bolts and nuts used to mount these for relatively cheap? The stealership wants over $50 for 6 bolts and 12 small nuts. If anyone knows what the thread pitch on the bolts is, that would even help.

Advance auto parts or any large chain autoparts will have these body bolts. The bolts are 8X1.25X30mm with 13mm hex head. The U-nuts are 8X1.25mm. The bolts wholesale for $12.50 box of 30 online. The u-nuts go for $12.95 for 30. autobodysupplies.com

Thanks TINMAN! You were absolutely right. I found them at Pep Boys. I never would have thought that these big auto part chain stores would have carried something like this. I haven't ever really looked around that much when I was there for the basics like oil, coolant, wipers, etc. I guess I need to start paying more attention. Thanks again. Cheers

For future reference:

(6) Body bolts: M8x1.25x30
(4) U nuts: M8x1.25
(12) Washered nuts: M6x1.0
