Some one here (in the build threads) made their own, if I remember order time was a factor. Found it http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...2&postcount=27

btw googling "captive nuts" in the general internet generates some pretty interesting links...

i made my own, but if your missing the cage you will have to re-cage it
you can buy new hinge pocket repair plates and cut out the old and weld in new
or just make a new cage and weld it on the back, that's easy if it's the center bolt, not so easy on the top or bottom bolts
