86 k10 vent window tension/pivot spring nut.

[JW72]

Replacing the vent window frames and seals in my 86 k10. My vent window frames are rusted so I took out the vent window assembly. Got the seals, frames, locks all replaced. Can't find the nut to go on the bottom frame post that holds the pivot/tensioner spring on. Mine were rusted and broke the nuts off so I can't measure the thread pitch nor can I find it online or at big box hardware stores.

I go to small hardware stores for nuts and bolt replacements. (where they still have staff to help pick through the endless assortments)

catalogers may have the hardware or specs like:
lmc truck
classic industries
year one ?

the forum software is giving me these as a similar thread to your topic,...not saying that the answer is in them,...but the software "may" do something useful ...hopefully.
