The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors A.D. glovebox door/hinge screws

Were "clutch-head" screws used to fasten the glovebox door to the pair of hinges?

I recently spent time an an old salvage yard that had a few A.D. trucks in very poor condition. I looked closely at one early A.D. truck (47-48-49?...evidenced by the thin metal retainer band used to help fasten the cardboard box in place) and noticed that 4 clutch-head fasteners were used to secure the door to the 2 hinges. The clutch-head screws were too far gone to be saved.

Can someone verify that these clutch-head screws were factory correct? If so, I am looking for 4 to use in my '48 Chevy 1/2 ton.

Thanks.

My truck was pretty original when I bought it and it has four phillips screws. I have a 52 3100.

I understand that the Phillips head were used in the later A.D. trucks. Is this also true for the early A.D. trucks, or were the "clutch heads" that I found in this old rotting truck correct for the early A.D.s?

I am just trying to "jump-start" this conversation, since there was very little activity on it last fall when originally posted. Must be that I am getting tired of winter!

Making some progress here! What type of fastener was used originally under the dash to secure the hinges?
