The spring nuts in the bed rails are a common part that can be found not only in Bronco bed rails but many many Ford models holding all sorts of body panels in place. They aren't hard to find at all. Unless you have to have brand new ones for some strange reason. Just because they don't appear in some parts list or cross reference guide doesn't make them hard to find.

Guys I have hardware from four different tops floating around. Tell me where to send it!
ErrorS, you say the top slid back? Ok, so now I'm intrigued... all of my 92+ Broncos have a pair of guide pins between the second last and last set of bolts that go into the bed rails at the rear corners. To get the top off you have to lift it first to clear the 1" guide pins and even then you can't slide the top until they have cleared the rear corners of the truck unless you want them to gouge the heck out of the bed rails as they slide back. Is this something that does not exist on models that don't have the third brake light and the shoulder harness rear seat belt mounts? My inquiring mind wants to know.
