Default Captured front shock nuts

Where can I get them? Is that what they are called? I am missing all 4 so I was thinking of ordering them from Classic Industries but I cannot find the part number. TIA

I have no idea if you can get them

What you could do is go to a bolt and nut supplier and buy the correct "style" nuts, bolt in the shocks, and tack weld the nuts in being careful not to get splatter on the bolt threads ?

You mean the ones on the LCA, right? I'm missing a 'correct' one too. They are all the same on early GM intermediates and F bodies. Getting a replacement is on my 'list'.

YEAH THAT BE THEM!

Thanks and I knew they couldnt cost too much. I was surprised I never saw anything about this during my searchs of the site. On my last 69 Camaro the previous owner "fixed" this problem by using allen bolts since you can fit a allen wrench between the springs. I had to cut off one to see what he had done.
