Rusted exhaust studs!!!

SD diesels were widely available in the US in the 1981-86 Datsun/Nissan 720 pickups, and in Canada through '87 in the D21 pickup.

SS nuts, or SS studs, but not both, is best unless you've got a very good reason to need everything SS, such as marine or aerospace.
Problems even when cold. Lots of marine rigging screws now have a bronze body to receive the SS eyes because 50% of SS to SS threads gall under any kind of load no matter what lubricant you put on them. Leave'm alone for 5 years and it's about 80%.

Jamestown Distributors (internet) have lots of fasteners in various materials. Not aimed at the auto market but you can find washers, nuts and bolts there easily enough.
