I have these hourglass looking screws all over my 50 GMC PU. What kind of funny screwdriver am I looking for?

Kinda hard to search when you don't know what you're searching for eh? They are called clutch heads. Napa should have the drivers.

I don't believe he took it personal. Why should you? There's no reason to.

I think it was the font that caused the confusion, no offence taken. Thanks for the reply.

This is one subject that has really been kicked around here.Anyone starting to work on an old Chevy truck,should invest in a good set of clutchhead drivers.They are not that expensive,most of the parts houses have a set for under $20.00 I am old enough that I remember the clutchhead screws,my first purchase was a single driver at the local NAPA Parts store.Later on I ordered a set from Chevy Duty,which has went thru a name change since then.

You can drill off the heads and remove them with visegrips, too. This saves time when the head strips out.

I have no use for clutch/dutch head screws
