Heater retaining nuts
Long shot, but is there a vendor for the heater retaining nuts? I can get a nut with a washer to work but just curious.

Try Restoration Specialties in Windber PA. They have a lot of this kind of stuff that was used across the industry.

These are called three different things: "Hex nuts with captive spring washer", "Spinning nut washer" and more commonly "free spinning washer nut"
I think they're 5/16"-18?
These are close: 12 Free Spinning 5/16- 18 3/4" Washer Body Nuts Head Door Fender Trunk 1/2" Hex | eBay
These look pretty close as well: Body Nuts 5/16 18 Free Spinning Washer 1/2 Hex Head Fender Door Trunk Mopar | eBay
There are tons of them that look perfect but are metric.
