Thanks Juan.

@rolling18

They are commonly referred to as Ancra buckles. When they were originally made, they had a metal spring tab, which lasted a looooooong time. The current production uses that little plastic injection molded one piece tab.

I found a truck cover company that will make them in metal, at $25 each, minimum order in the hundreds... I didn't place an order.

Hummer Parts Guy sells the current production all-plastic ones for about the same price.

I have a small stash. They don't have straps on them, unlike HPG's. But if you're going to put them on existing straps it won't matter.

If you are interested I will check how many I have. Message me if you want to discuss.

They are commonly referred to as Ancra buckles.

Assuming you want to maintain the military look?

Anyways, Ancra still exists as a company, maybe they can point you in the right direction: Cargo Fittings, Nets, & Straps Assuming the name isn't a coincidence.
