February 20, 201313 yr I know forging steel that is plated can be very dangerous but how would Chrome plated bolts do close to a forge? Should it be ok or should I try to find some that aren't plated?
February 20, 201313 yr actual chrome bolts are not a good idea to try to forge..cad plate can be removed by vinegar or acid (outdoors lots of venelation) that is what i would reccomend...
February 20, 201313 yr Depends on how close and how hot they'll get. Unless you're in some far flung corner of the globe, bolts are cheap.

Should it be ok or should I try to find some that aren't plated? My truck with its gas tank is "close" to my forge - at least when compared with your vehicle and your gas tank. (Dozens of feet vs hundreds of miles...) :) How hot will these bolts get? Too hot to touch? Hot enough to boil off noxious fumes? Hot enough to dry off a smidge more quickly than the ones in the back of my truck?
