is it possible to get good u-nuts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

As I take apart my vehicles to work on stuff I find things like u-nuts that are made of an actual nut, with a sheet metal clip. Here's a picture with examples of the older style and more modern stuff like extruded and all-sheet metal types.
1. square nut with sheet metal clip
2. extruded u-nut
3. all sheet metal u-nut (example is smaller than #8)

Most of the ones I find are rusted and needing to be replaced, and the example 1 is a survivor. I really like this type. Is it possible to buy them?
