Nothing's cooler than the original. But the second coolest is Caterpillar bolts. Not only are they made tough as the trucks we love, but the heads are both higher and wider in circumference than normal grade 8 bolts for better wrench grip and clamp area. Plus, the head is stamped with the Cat logo. I have used these bolts on all critical frame pieces on the restoration of my C1. I will use them on the winch attachment, too, when I get that far.
Here's the link to Holt Caterpillar's catalog. You'll need Adobe to open it.
