Nuts!!!

Does anyone know what the nut(s) are called that hold the headlight and wiper switch in BEHIND the Bezel? I just got my truck back from the body shop and I misplaced those nuts. Also, where could a person find the bolts that hold the seat in place? I have the regular 1/2in bolts but they are not long enough.

One last thing. Are all the reproduction chrome headliner trim kits "Chromed Plastic"? I put mine in over the weekend and I would prefer something stronger than chromed plastic.

Re: Nuts!!!

I could be remembering wrong, but I think my switches were held in by two small screws from the front....

Re: Nuts!!!

There should be nuts, much like on an old 2 knob stereo.
The headliner paieces are probably plastic, like the originals. Glue actually held it up, the trim was just there for looks.
On the seat bolts, you could go to a junk yard, or just get regular 5 grade 3/8 bolts about 1 1/4 inch long. That's probably a bit too long, but better than too short.
