I neeed to replace the mounting bolts on the parking lights on my 51 GMC, they are a two sided with a threaded bolt that mounts the unit to the fender and a female end to mount the glass lense. Where can I source these ?

I haven't seen repops of those. You might have to look for used or improvise something. You might be able to cut threads into some tubing. screw a machine screw in one side and cut the head off.

If they are used in electrical panels, they would probably be in the Grainger catalog.
