Wheel well to front outer fender clips, where to buy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 71 C10, where can I buy the clips that attach the wheel well to the front fenders? Does anyone know a part number or where I can get them? My local parts shop don't have them.

I believe you are looking for u nuts. Do you have an oriellys or advance auto near you? They will have u nuts. Their employees may not know what they are. Go to their website and do a search for u nuts, print that page and take it into the store with you.

I just replaced mine. The only place that I could fine them was at tractor supply and lowes. They will have them in the automotive bins with all the bolts about 1.00 apiece or you can get them from lmc if you want to wait on them.

Is LMC a good source for unuts for a 1972?

At some point I'll have to put my 1967 front inner fenders on to my rust bucket.

LMC, Brothers and Classic Parts of America all call these J-nuts like the factory did. O'reilly and others sell Dorman brand U type speed nuts but these are not identical to the factory part so fitting them takes some time.

Also (not to jack thread) does anyone anywhere for any price sell these in stainless? I always find rust on these prior to anywhere else
