I was looking for 1951 chevy truck striker nut plate missing 1 in my truck. It's the small plate 1 3/8" long 1/2" high 1/4 " thick with 2 tapped holes. It's what you screw in to to secure the striker plate. Anyone know were you buy this item.
Thanks John

As far as I know, those aren't reproduced. It would be fairly easy to drill and tap a piece of flat plate, but putting the serrations on it that keep it from shifting around would be a bit harder. Maybe some nicks with a sharp chisel to upset some metal would serve the same purpose as the serrations.
But I'm sure if you post in Truck Parts Wanted in the Swap Meet, a fellow Bolter could come up with one for you.

That partictular piece is the nut for two 1/4” bolts on top and another for the two on the bottom. The plate(s) with the serrations is sandwiched between the striker plate and the “B” pillar.

Use a thin cutoff blade on a small angle grinder or a Dremel tool to put the grooves in the plate. Use the original item you have as a pattern. Easy fix! Jerry

I happen to have a pic of the nut plate. This one had a bolt broken off in it and needed to have that removed and the threads chased.
