Bolt size help needed for 67-68 Grille Support- Center

There are two small bolts that hold the grille center support, one each for the back of the top and bottom inserts of the grill, along with u-nuts they screw into. Mine were rusted and cut out, must of swept them up with the pile of rust . I looked through some catalogs with no luck. Happy New Year
Thanks

Re: Bolt size help needed for 67-68 Grille Support- Center

I went to pull one out of my truck and found I didn't put them back. Found them in stuff I had plated.
#14 x 5/8

Like these - https://www.auveco.com/14-x-5-8-ind-...crew-zinc-2370

I think the j-nuts would be - https://www.auveco.com/j-nuts/j-nut-...040-range-2057 or https://www.auveco.com/j-nuts/j-nut-...nel-range-2420

One of the vendors has to have them in small qty.... I'm 99% sure I have bought them before.

3/8” hex flange head tap screws and U-nuts. The screw threads are 1/4 x 5/8”. The U-nuts have a 3/8" center hole to edge.
