Besides LMC, who else stocks these? Is there a GM, Advance, or Dorman part #? I see some on Amazon but not sure they are the correct ones.

Need the small white anchor nuts that goes in the radiator support and grille.

If you have a good example to take for comparison, Napa is a good place to check. You'll get like 10 or 12 ish for about 5-6 bucks

If you have a good Body shop supplier in town, they should have what you need, or something close enough to work.

Appreciate it! I was hoping I could order them online (besides LMC) since time is scarce during my normal working hours 8-5... plus I'm lazy. LOL On a serious note, every time I try to hit a shop or store for a special part I can't find, I feel like I'm driving across town to 5 different shops and wasting $20 in gas just to come home empty handed or the wrong part. I'm sure there are some body suppliers that have it, just have to find where. Napa auto body supply is on the other side of town and I hate dealing with the guys at the parts counter sometimes since they usually can't figure out to look something up. I'm sure the closer Napa cant get it too. If they don't have they will order it but then I have to come back. Part of the car/truck life.

I just got the above through Amazon, same day shipping so we'll see if those work.
 
I picked up something similar today at a local ACE. They had about a dozen kinds, all less than $0.50 each.
 
I hate to say it, but there have been a few times where I just call LMC. They do seem to have good customer service, even if some of their products aren't great.
 
I got mine from usa1. They are square body people, not just a new hire in the call center.
 
Verified the small nut anchor from Amazon are correct for the smaller ones.

Rexka Front Light Nylon Nuts 5/32 Screw Size for GM 347347 Buick Regal Cadillac DeVille Chevrolet Tahoe (Pack of 50)

I needed some for the M1008 84 grille and these will work so I don't mind having extras for future use.

Still need to get the larger square ones.
 
I ordered the exact replacement sizes from places like LMC and USA1. Problem is, they don't tell you what size it is, you can get these at your local auto parts store but you have to know what size you want. They are GM specific but they sell packs of various sizes for like three bucks at AutoZone
