Do you have a body shop supply house around? Maybe a auto paint supply place? My local auto paint place has supplies, like clips and the like also.
Not sure, but you probably could find them at one of the "sponsors" of this site(hint, hint).

In your area are four places to get Ford obsolete and reproduction parts.
FTE sponsor Blue Oval Truck Parts / Bob's F Fun Hundreds are in Anaheim.
Vintage Ford is in Huntington Beach.
CW Moss is on Chapman Ave, just west of the Traffic Circle in Orange.

Out in San Dimas is the Early Ford Store, most of what he sells is used stuff.

Most body shops carry those blind nuts..(they are not pal nuts) but you'll have to find a shop that's been around for awhile, because today, most hardware like this is metric.
You might give the parts dept at either Mills Ford-Anaheim or Burch Ford-La Habra a call...maybe, just maybe they'll still carry those parts. Both dealers have been around for decades.
Automotive paint supply stores also carry them.
Otherwise, it's off to the junkyard to get them.
