The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop What Size Screws

On my 1950 Chevy 1 ton, I don't know what to use for the screws at the bottom end of the door glass channel. Maybe 8 or 9 inches below the latch, there is a place for two screws that would hold the lower end of that channel. Both of the screws are gone from both doors, so I am just looking for the correct type and size of screw to use there. If anyone could answer that for me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Those screws are #10 flat head sheet metal screws. I believe the originals were likely clutch head, but you can find phillips head at any hardware. Probably 1/2" long is plenty long enough. I confirmed the diameter in the channel from my pile of parts not installed yet. I probably have the original screws in a bag, but they're buried deeper than the channel was.

Thanks for the information Kevin, I guess the only other thing I thought of, were these just painted over when the door was painted, or were they installed later and left the natural color of the screw.

I can't answer that question. I've painted my doors, so will likely leave them natural screw color (I may have zinc plated my originals). My interior was repainted rattle can blue, so the screws were painted at that point. I think the doors were painted separately from the cab (paint on the hinge straps makes me think that,) but don't know if the doors were fully assembled (glass & all) before painting. I doubt it.
