Front sheet metal hardware

[jecsd1]

I am in the process of reassembling the front fenders/inner fenders/core support/grille/valance/etc... where is a good place to source hardware? I need the threaded clips and bolts for the front of the truck.

Thanks

This is what I used when I put together my CrewCab. I had plenty to go around but only have a few extra cause there are lots of places this stuff is used.

Note: I did not order A, C or F in the link above didn't need them either.

Almost all the hardware on your truck - nuts, bolts and j-nuts are 5/16-18.
If you have a fine thread, it will probably be 5/16-24.

When I made that list, I took all the fasteners off of my truck and made a reference of them all. There may have been a few that weren't original but main thing is I just wanted a good supply put away for when I start re-assembly.

Excellent info as always! Thanks

what about the captured nuts that pop into the core support? I beleive there are five of them. They attach to the latch support brackets and the lower valance.

I found exact replacement j-nuts and bolts at a local Mustang restoration parts and service business here in Reno, RDW Mustang...it seems they use Scott Drake products quite often from the looks of their showroom...I think the bolts were 1.00 a piece and the j-nuts were .75 a piece if I remember correctly

here is a link to Scott Drake

Here's a link to some cage nuts. I know others here have provided other resources for these. http://www.fastenal.com/web/search/prod ... Nuts%22%7C~
