What kind of tool is used to remove the screws with hourglass shaped slots that seem to be scattered through the cab interior, firewall, and larger ones on doors?
Thanks,
Wes

Duh,
Reading is fundamental. I found the answer to my question by just reading a couple of earlier posts. I'll bother y'all with a real question some other time.

Wes, as you discovered, there's a lot of good info in the tech section on this site. Clutch head screwdrives are available, there's a tool store locally that sells Channelock brand. Also, you can get them to fit 1/4" drivers, which lets you put them on a ratchet. If I had it to do over again, I would buy just the bits and forget the handled screwdrivers.

I have never managed to find a bit for the largest clutch-head screws. However, some auto parts stores, such as NAPA, usually have the handled drivers. They are rather obsolete, but the tools are available.

NAPA does sell the largest size, but it may make sense to get a full set for drivers. If you're just getting started, you're going to put some miles on each of them!

Do any screws on our trucks use the smallest clutch-head size? I have two sets of three bits (the largest isn't included in either), and the smallest never gets used. My family has 4 various AD trucks around, and I have never used the little clutch-head bit, only the three larger sizes.

GMC Panel-

I understand that small clutch head screwdrivers can also work for some carb adjustments, Holley I think.
