Headlight adjusting screw

Been absent for awhile. Lot of other obligations. Looking for a source to buy plastic retainer for headlight adjustment screw for a 75 f250. LMC doesn't have them and not listed on Dennis Carpenter's sight. Anybody know if late 60s or late 70s is the same?

I have a 74 f250 - attach a picture, maybe I can print one for you?

Your signature does not list location, but if you go to any autobody Jobber, they should have cabinets with a vast assortment of automotive fasteners, bring a sample along!

And in all likelyhood, the stock @ the jobbers came from one of these companies....

i remember that Dorman/Motormight makes a lot of that stuff in their "Help!" product line. According to their catalogue it is part number 42171. I'm on lunchbreak at work so I can't run out to my truck to see if it looks right so I will leave that up to you. If no one in your area carries that anymore Napa has a cross reference for it and shows it as available. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NDP6651675?interchange=1 I hope that helps.

Thanks everyone. I ended up buying dorman part #s 42117 and 42187. Someone had replaced them on my truck with 2 different style. 1 like the black ones in kit 42187 and 1 like 42117. The ones in 42117 ending up working best. Figures, it's a universal part. Hope this might help someone in the future.
