Alright my J-10 is done with bodywork and paint. As I assembled everything I realized that I need the little plastic/nylon inserts for the grille to screw to.
does anyone know a place to order those from or a part number that fits that I can order?
Thanks
Marc

Re: Grille Hardware
@letank I bought those, and they do not fit at all. They are close being the same shape, but they are too big. My truck is a '79

Re: Grille Hardware
So to close this out, what I ended up doing was taking the TGW plastic inserts and sanding them down painfully slow on a small belt sander until they fit.
Not something I would recommend, but since I already had them it was only about an hours worth of time
