No problem, I figured, I'll just drill out the rivets and replace that part with a new one. Well, I've looked in every parts catalog I have, and online, but not only can I not find one of these parts, but it seems I'll have to buy a whole headlamp set up just to get a housing with a clip on it.  All I really need is a 50 cent fastener (probably a dollar now) so I can install it on my existing light, without even taking it off the fender. Seems you can find every other fastener clip on these trucks from the light housing hardware to any and all clips anywhere else on the truck, but not these. At least I can't find them, anyway. Does anyone know where I can find one of these??

PM me.

I would have taken you up on that if that wouldn't have been in Jim Carter's catalog. The ONLY place I forgot to look out of about a dozen different company catalogs and online searches. I'll get that ordered today. I wonder why nobody else is offering them? And Jim Carter is just on the other side of Missouri, too! Thanks again, guys. Lee

....order TWO. Shipping should be the same....and Jim is known to only charge actual freight....or so it was a while back.
I think I have a spare...somewhere!!
