First a tip: I just got mine in the mail for Obsolete Ford Parts (NOTE HERE THAT I GOT THEM FROM AN EBAY AUCTION HE ALSO OWNES, QUITE A NICE SAVINGS!!!!!!)


Now I need some help: I didnt have the bars on my PU and thought they would have a stud on the back. They dont, so I need 30 mounting studs. Does anyone have these or an Idea of where could get them inexpensively?

The bolts that hold mine on are just plan carriage bolts. I'm not sure if that is the stock way of holding them on or not, but it works good for me. Hope this helps

 

PERFECT! I was just thinking too hard, worring about some kind of fancy hardware. I should have thought that FORD would not have used fancy body clips back in the forties! Carriage bolts are cheap and Lowes has a good selection!

 

Fancy body clips are what Ford used back in the '40's for the grille bars. They are a little plate with a stud pressed into them, then the nut holds them onto the grille panel. There is not a kit for the grille bars, but you can use similar clips from passenger cars, I believe the hood side molding clip used on cars uses a clip very similar to the grille bar clips.
