Default Where to buy a bolt strech gauge

Like the title says where can I buy a bolt strech gauge? I'm finally going to put my truck back together and it seems that alot of the bolts need this tool to get the job done. Thanks in advance

They make a better one too. Proform makes one for around $40. You do get what you pay for with precision instruments though.

I 'm not sure if that is the right tool or is it that I was asking for the the right thing? I am looking for the tool that when you torque a bolt down to say "50 ft lb of torque plus 55 degrees" what is the name of that tool? I thought it was a bolt strech gauge . I don't know?
