Looking for glass fuses

I have a 1965 F-85 and need the fuses and cannot fin them in town.
They are 20 amp, 9 amp and 3 amp.
The 9 and 3 amp ones are very short. I have tried Advance auto parts, Napa, and a local hardware store. I can find 4 and 10 but even the they are not the correct length.
Any suppliers?

Maybe a Radio Shack store will have the fuses you need, or you can see if there is an electronics supply business in your town. Good luck with your search!

Around here, Autozone carries all the glass fuses I've ever needed, in various lengths. But, you may want to check a fuse supplier online. Maybe Buss Fuses? A quick search reveals this website: http://www.bb-elec.com/SubCategory.a...CategoryId=714 also http://www.globalsources.com/manufac...***-Fuses.html

Just for reference:

All the locals (Advance, O'Reillys' Auto Zone) carried the Busse brand fuses but do not come in the sizes I need. Radio Shack and hardware store were pretty similar.
I happened by a Pep Boys (which i personally hate) and they carried the Littlefuse brand. They had every fuse imaginable (slight exaggeration). They had exactly what I needed.

I haven't had a problem locating fuses yet... (knock on wood).
Post a pic or 2 with a ruler beside it and we will see what we can come up with.
