I'd say thats more becuase the Chevy is more common at any period of time.
Economics of mass production which goes into the availability of the
aftermarket stuff.
However, i'd disagree with the bolt thing. You can get bolts from ARP for
the old Buick Nailhead. =)
Unless these bolts happen to be true custom units (doubtfull in a mass
produced item) any half decent fastener store (Which is NOT the local
hardware store, or autoparts store) will either have on hand, or be able to
order any bolt, in any grade, in any size, with whatever head, if any.
