There are a few different sizes use throughout the truck, why not just get the set so you always have the correct size...

Sockets

Screwdrivers

https://www.amazon.com/CTA-Tools-8752-Clutch-Head-Screwdriver/dp/B00M9FZEI2

Your local NAPA may have them on the shelf...

My local Ace Hardware, NAPA, Walmart, and Home Depot have clutch head bits (in stock).

Bought a set of 4 from amazon largest 1/4 inch. Still to small for door hinge bolts.

You need the 5/16" size clutch head bit if I recall correctly.

That size can be purchased separately from a number of our usual vendors.

When it comes to 'clutch bit size', I generally go by,
'About yay size', or 'nope the bigger one', or 'I'm gonna need the drill on that one.'
