Round Eye Grill Mounting Pieces/Clips

[RADustin]

I'm looking for the pieces to mount my '76 GMC grill to the metal pieces that bolt on the core support and the hood latch support. I think they are some kind of plastic pieces and screws thread into them from through the grill. On the hood latch support it looks like they are clips with holes in the center maybe and on the two outer pieces I'm not real sure. My truck had the grill already removed and the hardware was long gone. So I'm not real sure what I'm hunting for.

You guys know of a vendor for these pieces? LMC doesn't seem to carry them. Some pictures or something would also be nice.

Thanks!

LMC should have them. #2 & 3 in the attachment. I'm going through the same thing right now. There are 2 on the latch support and 2 on each other end. They are square plastic screw "plugs" The grille uses small inch long'ish screws. I ordered the screws from LMC but not the clips because I thought I had them but I only had the 2 in the latch support. I bought some similar looking clips at Lowe's today in hopes they will fit. I can update with parts numbers if you want if they work. Or you can order and wait.

And your build is awesome btw..

OK sweet. I know the slot in the side mounting bars is 5/16". and 3/4" wide.

LMK how the lowes pieces work out, that's a lot easier than LMC.

I appreciate the kind words on the build.

Lowes hardware worked great. You'll just need to find some screws that work. The heads are sorta narrow to fit through the grille, just fyi.

The square clips are in the pull out drawers with the license plate hardware.
