Default Fan shroud clips?

Where do you find the metal V-shaped clips at the bottom of the fan shrouds? I already tried the parts yard. No luck. My originals are rusted to hell and would like to replace them with better ones (new if possible), but nobody seems to have them. Unless there is a more readily available substitute clip you have used that works. Thanks.

GM? Never would have thought to look there. That part number did the trick. Many thanks!

Are those clips really needed?
On my Jeep, when I first got it, I don't recall ever seeing a single clip on the bottom or my fan shrouds...

You meaning these? If so any decent hardware store should be able to match the bolt to one.
