5.3 Intake Manifold Bolts
This will be the second time that I have torqued down my intake manifold and am wondering if anyone knows where I can find intake manifold bolts for a 2003 5.3 stock manifold. I reused them the first time during my cam swap (had to pull the heads because exhuast shop broke off header bolts ), but this time I would prefer buying new ones. I cannot find any so far on summit, jegs, oriellys, autozone, or TSP, so if anyone knows of stock replacement bolts let me know please.

The intake manifold bolts get torqued to about 7.5 ft-lb (89 in-lb). They aren't torque to yield. You'll be fine reusing them. If you really want to replace them, the dealer parts counter should be able to get them. Or you can buy them at the hardware store if you don't mind them not being the exact same as stock.
There's always ARP as well.
