Hi

I have a '53 Chevy 1500 and my passenger window handle fell off. When it did, I noticed the set screw was missing and I can't find it. I tried the usual sites to find a some set screws but I'm having trouble finding a vendor that sells them.

Anyone know where to get some? Also, are the interior door handle and window handle set screws the same size and thread?

Thanks

X2 on the hardware stores.

Welcome to the site, by the way. So is it a sedan delivery?

I believe you will find there should be 2 set screws. First one tightens the handle to the regulator, then the second one goes in on top and locks the first one from backing out.

Thanks for the welcome. It's not a delivery, it's a 1500 pickup. I think based on the suggestions I'll remove the other handle and pull out the other acre to try and match it at the local hardware store. Thanks!

welcome to the 'Bolt. Our hardware stores carry a lot of smaller hardware item that are usefull in restoration, and you you have to pay shipping or buy a dozen of them! Good luck, Mike
