Ford Emblem nuts

Is there anywhere online that sells the nuts for my Ford hood letters and the emblem on the side of the hood? I wish to mount all of them back on but I somehow lost the bolts to mount them. Or else is there some bolts I can pick up at menards or lowes that work? I haven´t been able to find the bolts yet without buying everything new

I have tried that also. Unfortunately, North Dakotans consider the emblems a treasure apparently and I could not find any lettering or bolts to use, also considering the fact there´s maybe 6 fords with the suitable lettering at the closest yard to me

I found some emblem nuts on ebay. I guess you have not check online.
Also saw some of the rubber backed emblem type nuts at Lowes & Ace hardware type stores.

There´s a thing about me, I have an unnatural distrust for ebay so I usually avoid it at all costs. Had a friend get scammed over a part for a vehicle so I try to stay away. But maybe I will try ebay out for these

Try AMK. Put in your truck info, and hit submit. If you look down this list, you will see a listing for NAMEPLATES @ HOOD SIDES, these might be what your looking for. Not sure if those same nuts will work for the letters on the hood.

So I guess the proper name for these are "speed nuts" I see summit racing has 3/16" speed nuts looks like they are about $2.00 each. Ouch that's pricey they should be a 20 pack for that price. They are listed as emblem nuts. OER Emblem Speed Nuts 11501047

I wonder if you could find these at an Ace Hardware store, they carry a lot of automotive fasteners. Even Lowes carries some.

For 70/72 the hood letter 1/8" spring nuts were part number 373888-S7-8. The hood side emblem nuts were part number 371882-S7. There are none of either of these on my locators.
And OP, not trying to beat you up but you need to call a part the correct name if you are ever to find it. Bolts are male. Nuts are female.

Yes, I did not get any sleep last night so my brain is operating at 2% how it normally does. I found macs sold the nuts online so I may attempt to purchase some if they are the right size

Ford Emblem nuts

70FE250 if you have a PPG paint store close to where you live they have what you are looking for. i needed some barrel nuts to hold the letters across the front of my 67, they said here their free. now you might not get that good of a deal, but you never know.
