Inner fender Trim Nuts

[woodjunky]

While removing the inner front fenders, the keeper trim nuts fall apart Is there a supplier that we can get replacements from ? I see the ones listed on Ebay but they seem to be fine thread.

the clips for the inner fender to outer fender ACME bolts? Those are ACME threads and are not available thru any source I was able to find...I snap them up off every truck I see when I go picking, I might have an extra or two.

I thought those were 5/16-24 (fine) thread, like all other 5/16" body screws and bolts on these trucks?

But yes, no one makes (that I've found) a 5/16" fine u-nut. All are coarse threads.

Check Restoration Supply in Windber PA. They carry a great deal of clips and nut and bolts.

for the next person looking for the fender j-nut and bolts 5/16-24. just got a package of them from AMK Products inc. kind of a bummer on the minimum order but they are the correct thread

[John-T-53]

What was the minimum order? How do they look and fit compared to the originals from our trucks?

[Brent B3B]

I think the j-nut looks good (Left is my original) the washer on the bolt isn't square but, I figure I can use them on the floor boards 

not a lot of Chrysler products in the catalog they sent  

 

the minimum is $30. plus shipping........ I ended up with a pack of 50, I thought I could use them on the floor boards and fenders.

Great find, Brent! You could always pawn off some of the extras you don't need to other members here too :-)

Brent,

 

Thanks for posting #8 above a few years ago on www.amkproducts.com.

 

While I have about 8 original J-Nuts that I could clean up like the one in my photos I found it simpler for me to just buy all new ones.

 

I tested them out on my fenders, floor pan, and the cowl where the center hood section connects and they fit in all areas easily.

 

I liked that the new ones are stamped T 56-24 just like the original ones.
