I have the plate off of mine right now but I'll need to put it back on at some point. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | I used a couple of SS machine screws. Not original, but the look good.

My 54/55 GMC (Z-series) is older than yours but it has the ID plate "rivets" shown at the link I gave above.
These rivets are installed by placing the rivet in the plate, into the door jamb. The center of the rivet is then punched, producing a firm, "blind-sided" attachment.
