I told the body man who did the body work/paint on my '38 that if he lost those screws I'd kill him (only half jokingly). <CLICK>

Nice photo, Tiny
It looks like the outside/head of that screw is round (like GMC at that time), not hexagonal as shown by JC for a later Chevrolet tag/truck.
Thanks,

Does JC sell the clutch/hex screws? If so they're the first I've heard of. I'll pick up a few for extras.

I have not seen those clutch-head screws for sale.
If someone knows a source, please post a link (or company name/link and part number).
