need mounting hardware for...
i want to get new mounting hardware for the grill, and the dash gauge
bezel.
should i just go to LMC? or autozone - advanced auto parts.
i need the little pieces that the screws go in to.
i think it is something like this below.
i need them for the tail lights as well.
thanks for the help.

That style is a "U-Nut".
*EDIT* - I forgot to add that I agree with the above statement, Bronco Graveyard is a good place to get these if you can not find them locally. I believe they even have the nylon inserts for the grille inserts and the tail lights.

I believe the dash bezel uses a Spring Type U-Nut, but I am not sure what size.
Nuts | Fastenal
I think the tail lights use something like this, but again, not too sure what size.
Grommets | Fastenal
I am not home to look at my truck and will not be for a few days. You should be able to find something that'll work for this stuff at most of the larger auto parts stores or hardware stores.
Good luck in your search.

Grill takes 5/16. There will be long and short versions. You will need mostly long one's
Bezel uses the same style fastener just made for sheet metal screws. No. 8, I think.
Any hardware store should have them.

thanks for all the great info!
i did find the nuts - grommet for the tail lights.
i am just trying to put this thing back to a normal state.
the PO hammered this truck and it needs a lot more TLC
than it is worth as far as cost goes. slowly it will get the
help it needs.

They are called all those "speed nuts, U nuts etc.." can pick them up at NAPA all different sizes and lengths in bags of 7-8 for round $6-8. Also go check out Lowe's in the hardware section they have parts bins with all these in bags of two plus tons more misc parts real cheap.
