When I took the bed off my super camper special I wasn't being very smart and cut the bolts. I was then left with seized studs in these clip type captive nuts. I need these nuts due to lack of clearance over the rear tank. If I had to I could weld the nuts to the inner frame but don't really dig that idea. Anyone know where I can possibly get the nuts. Here is a pic.
When I was putting my fender on I wrecked the one that mounts the bottom. To my surprise my local specialty hardware store carried them. That was a 5/16" or 3/8", not sure what all sizes are available.
Exactly the route I went. I'm thinking of doing the other 6 all with the SD bolts, U clips. Much easier than crawling around under the bed and having crap fall in your eyes. Throw some anti-seize on the bolts, and you're good to go. Got mine at the Ford dealership.
