I wont bore you with why I dont have all my screws lol.. duz anyone know if all 6 screws are the same size? I have one, and tried to match it up at Ace HWD they have one a tad shorter and one size a tad longer. I got the longer one and I can see it is too long because it will hit the regulator arm. I looked in a LMC truck magazine and could not find them . I would really appreciate help with this ,Thanks.

I found out what I needed to know through CLASSIC PARTS. Seems like they are all the same size which is 1/2 x 20 and 9/16 TH's. They are 40 cents each .For the required 14 screws both doors it would cost $5.60 + $7.95 Sh.= $13.55 .

Found mine at Ace Hardware. They are one of the few places still selling them individually with a big selection.....but I don't think ALL stores are the same. Penny saved....is a penny saved, for other parts!!

This is not a problem. Run a nut all the way onto the bolt. Cut the bolt to the length you need and as you take the nut off it will re-thread your bolt. If you have one you could use a thread-chaser instead of the nut. I have used this method many times and saved a lot of aggravation.

I replaced one of the window regulators in my 48 Chevy pick up yesterday. Either there is a trick I don't know about, which I don't doubt, and it was a pain in the *.My hands are so scratched up trying to get everything aligned through those 2 small openings. It took me awhile! There were several screws missing in the window channel that holds the glass. I found replacements at Ace Hardware but the heads were to big. I finally found some hex head screws that worked.

Yes , Ace Is da Place . I think I might be able to get fender bolts there to. Im checking in to it. And thaks Harold for your advice , Im going to try that .
