What are these fender gizmotrons called?
Would anyone know what these fender C clip nut thingies are called and where I can get these particular ones, I think these are the stock ones, please correct me if I am wrong, I think my fenders are aftermarket and the previous owners used 7 different types of clips on them but these are my favorite and my best
a direct linky link to buy them would be greatly appreciated please and thank you |

J-nuts. I got these U-nuts and they worked well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071DFK1XZ
I do like the kind you show a picture of, so I'm staying tuned for other answers. |

These look like the ones you show. I have not tried them but they look promising. https://www.amazon.com/Type-Cage-Nut...dp/B0040D0KBW/

Re: What are these fender gizmotrons called?
I just recently bought a package of those, along with bolts, to re-install my inner fenders from GMCPauls right here on this site.

Re: What are these fender gizmotrons called?
The bane of anyone who's ever removed the fenders from one of these old trucks. I just installed new ones from classic parts. In fact, once I saw the price on the front fastener kit they sell I decided it wasn't worth cleaning up any of the old hardware. My local Ace hardware sells the J-nuts as well if you are in a hurry. I was surprised to see they had the "body bolts" & weld nuts and few other fasteners I wouldn't have thought to look for there as well.

You can get those at pretty much any Napa store.

If you need them quick, NAPA has them, in assorted sizes, in bags of 10. I just bought some last week. They also carry two sizes of Barrel clips, and other trim clips. |

Re: What are these fender gizmotrons called?
The Auveco online catalog is helpful to ID some of these fasteners- they'll point you to a local distributor too, usually your local parts store. But a good reference nonetheless.

Re: What are these fender gizmotrons called?
Personally in the future I will call them "Fender Gizmotrons". I like that name.
