Nate,
Since 1960(?) Fords have had washers built into the nuts and bolt heads (They are not loose but are part of the nut or bolt head.).
I think the first one's were fractional sizes like 3/8". I think the later ones are metric.
Those bolts and nuts may be useful also.

What these are is :
Hardware with slight differences like screws , nuts and bolts with washers made as part of the fastener , mostly found on Japanese vehicles but here & there on newer Mercedes Products too .
They're real life savers when you're working with a wallowed out hole or damaged sheet metal .
Over size flat washers too come in mighty handy .
Primarily in 6 & 8 MM , they're usually scattered all over the ground in all junkyards , as they sweep them up and discard , I just pocket them , getting my $2.00 entry fee .
If you pay attention , there are all manner of problem solvers, sheet metal screws with loose washers and semi - self tapping machine screws etc. .
