Fuel Line Clips On Frame

I'm restoring a 1995 F-350 with 7.3 and and have taken it down to bare frame.

Does anyone have part numbers for the original style white plastic clips that holds the fuel and brake lines to the frame? There are three different styles.

Thanks for any help on this.

I may have some of these on a shelf in my shop. If someone else isn't able to reply with the info you need, I may be able to locate one or more of them and see if there is a number on them on Friday. I apologize that I can't do so sooner, but my schedule these next two days is full up and I'll likely have to dig for these.

I guess I could ask as well, it sounds as though you have the ones off the truck, is there a part number on them? If not, then I'm afraid I'm not much help.

DIYMechanic, Are your clips new or used? I have all of my original clips that I removed from the frame but none have a part number on them.

Diesel_Brad, I'm sure clips from a junk yard would be the same as what I currently have as in the Christmas tree tip (part that goes in the frame hole) would be ruined and unable to hold the lines to the frame.

Mine would be used as well.

That's the issue with those, in my experience as well. Once you crimp that Christmas tree to get them removed, they never fit tight again.

Push the clip tight to the frame, and put a zip-tie on the Christmas tree on the other side, right snug to the frame, and zip it down tight. It will probably snug up the fit.

Or cut the christmas tree off, and use as short/fat a sheet metal screw (or wood screw) as you can find, and screw it into the plastic through the hole in the frame.

I take those clips in and out of the frame all the time. MAYBE 1 out of 20 I am not able to reuse
