To all of you extremely intelligent people! Wat style nut goes on the drivers side air vent box? I’ve had mine apart for so long I don’t remember and all of my pictures don’t show them. Tanks as always

The picture I posted is from my unmolested 69 when I took it apart. The washer was made on to the nut. I would have to look to see if it is fixed to the nut or captured.
 
And I'll show you photos of the nuts I took off my 69 RR which I've owned since 1973 - and will be putting back on as soon as I get a new parking brake cable grommet.
 
Originals on left, new on right. However, keep in mind that these could have varied by year, model and plant.

Yes, I have parted many cars out and I have seen both styles nuts used. Depends on what factory built the car, but don't ask me which one did what. I haven't documented which one used what.
 
Wow thanks for all of the info!!! I really appreciate it. Mine apparently had the stamped steel nuts. It is a St. Louis car
