Your question on the j-nuts for headlight bucket. New LMC catalog in the mail today. The j-nuts you need are on page 113, 56 headlight components. Item 13. I also like your color choices.
Thanks for the pictures. I’m not as far on reassembly as you are, so I am snooping on the wire installation.
I am using midifuses and looking for suggestions on where to mount. Trying to keep the firewall uncluttered. Also have GEN 5 a/c for the truck.

Thanks for the reference to LMC trucks catalog but unfortunately I ordered those parts and they are for attaching the grill to the air deflectors. I'm waisting so much time looking for all the hardware to complete my build! Very very fustrating. I found this morning if you go to mid fifties catalog and lookup headlight bucket and go to that page it clearly shows the kit for securing the headlight bucket to the grill not to the air deflectors but to the grill itself. Part number 82230 and shows exactly what is needed but can't find the same kits in any and I mean any ford truck parts catalogs anywhere. If Someone know where These parts are please LMK!! Thank you,Scot!

On the headlight bucket to grille hardware: they're C-Clips, not J-Clips. (Sometimes called U-Clips) At least they are on a '53.

You can buy them almost anywhere. Lowes, Home Depot, AutoZone, etc.




I used Hillman 10 X 11/32 and #10 stainless screws. Your mileage may vary.
