The rivets you describe sound like the kind used on 18 wheelers to attach
the skin to the "E" Bar Tracks.

We have used them here at home to make our own trailers from surplus 18
wheeler sections where the original trailer is being made into a custom
show
trailer.

So where do you find them and how do you install them?

I think maybe Aircraft Spruce, a supplier to airplane builders. Or
find local firm than makes truck and trailer bodies. You can buy what
they call a chassis/cab and fit bodywork to it. Find some of those
guys, or a builder of semi-trailers, and ask where they get their
rivets. Find the aircraft homebuilders newsgroup. Let us know how you
make out.
