65 FST Resto / harware suppliers q's

[Freeman]

Hey fellas,

I am restoring my 65 FST and need to know what mounting hardware I need for the fst. Going to order my st from Ehsan but need to go ahead and get everything mounted and painted before it gets here....2 weeks OUCH!!!!

It has the 3 footman loops for the tailgate, but thats it as far as mounting. Any suggestions on the following would be helpful:

Twist Locks - qty and supplier
Fotman Loops - qty / Metal Footman Loops - found this on a thread so though I would give them a try unless someone has a better source.

Also, noticed on the Ehsan tops from threads here that some use the twist lock, and some dont...what am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

not original but any military surplus dealer should have foot man loops they were used on many military trucks .ive seen the twist locks in canvas shops and hardware stores good luck

The only ones I can find in the canvas stores are fabric to fabric type - not fabric to metal? I dunno, hate to spend 10 bucks a piece from sor, but may be the only way. Thanks anyway.
