Spent 4 hours drilling out the clutch head screws on the hood latch panel on the 5 window. Cleaned, painted and re-tapped 1/4 20.. Much harder than doing the hood to cowl seal, those Clutch heads came out easy..No more clutch heads on either truck..Bill[img]https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...umber/21869/filename/20200626_122335.jpg[/img]

What a beautiful pair of trucks!

Clutch-heads are the epitome of evil! I replace them all with button-head allen bolts.

Frozen 70 year old Phillips head screws are no picnic either, are they?
