I have an exploded diagram of the early Econolines and found a picture of the part & it's part number. Part number is 373662-S (KK56R). It's also listed in the Fordification.com Truck Master Parts Catalog
Unfortunately, no luck finding the grommets online searching with google and visiting various websites.
These Two Hole Grommets for the 71-73 mustangs look perfect, but the website doesn't include any specs on its size and hole diameters.

Nice find, if you look at the hole spacing, scale and what not, they certainly look the same or very close. If you pick some up please let us know if they are the right size.

Those grommets are also offered on Ebay, and the auction says the holes are 3/8 and 3/16, which match the fuel and brake line sizes on my E-pup. I sent a note to the seller (Macs Auto Parts) asking for info on the outside diameter. I'll post if I get an answer back.

My fuel line is 5/16" and oem rear brake line was 1/4", now 3/16, on my '64. But it'll work fine all the same I think if it fits the big hole. Right now I've got the lines running through center with plastic grommets in the big hole.

Got an answer back from Macs: "OD is 1 1/4" for a 1" hole. If there is anything else we can assist you with please let us know."
So, sounds like they would be a good replacement for the stock originals, assuming your brake and fuel lines are the right size....
