If that is a picture of what you are looking for, most of us have never seen an aftermarket attachment like that. If you have the rest of it you are probably going to need to have them machined at a local shop.

In over 50 years dealing with Chevys Iv never seen thoes before! You might try Ace Hardware, they should have a good selection of brass nuts.
