Re: Inner Rocker Panel Bolts

The nuts are a square nut that is spot welded on back at the cab corner section. 3/8-16. The bolts have a washer made on then with a pointed end. I found some on ebay when I converted my low hump floor to a high hump. They were 5/16 nuts and I spot welded them in place.There is a special name for the nuts but I don't remember.

Picture. I also added the nuts under the floor to add bucket seats and made some custom floor braces.

Re: Inner Rocker Panel Bolts

I bought some home depot standard 3/16" nuts/bolts washers and have them in place for the time being. I originally wanted to use the factory style welded nut as shown in that photo, however I am not sure there is a real advantage to this for the A/B pillar application?

If you ever have to loosen these bolts, you're not adjusting the B pillar without having the rocker off anyway? Not sure if there is a pro or con to the A-pillar application. I didn't mean to hijack this thread, just wanted to confirm if there is a true advantage before hunting down those pieces. I hope this is still applicable to the OPs post!

Thanks!

Re: Inner Rocker Panel Bolts

Bolts =''Body Screws''.
Nuts = ''Weld Nuts''.
"J-Nuts" have a reach-around clip.
"Clip Nuts" have spring clips on 2 sides and are held in a place by spring tension. [Used on '67-'71s to attach the door panels.]
