looking for parts :)

I'm not sure what to call these so how about U-Nuts, they are used to hold the main gas tank belly pan on the frame, thay are u-shaped with a nut molded in.

I have found similar but not deep enough. I am looking for the whole set with bolts, any ideas ? I have searched the venders on this page and several wrecking yards.

For a 1978 F-250

They are called "J" nuts and can be found at most good hardware stores and fastener supply companies.

Like said before you can find them at good hardware stores or in the link mbbford suggested. I first thought you meant the gas tank straps too LOL.

Take a look at "au-ve-co". It's probably one of the largest manu. of automotive fasteners in the world.
The catalogue takes forever to load even with highspeed int. And I mean forever.
