They aslo ship for free if you spend $99 which really isn't to hard anymore. Bruce My Trucks Stuff I Collect If it doesn't matter if you win or loose.......why do they keep score?

sandbagger778 New Guy S Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 2 Alabama	I picked up a '51 3100 a little while back and am looking for the proper tools to do a little work. I need the tool for the recessed bolt heads. Would this be a screwdriver-type tool or a ratchet-type. And where would I find a set? I have "modified" some screwdrivers and small sockets that are somewhat doing the job, but would love to have the tools that were made for the job. Thanks in advance....

If the slot kinda looks like an hour glass, you need clutch head screwdrivers or sockets. These are available at most aftermarket restoration places and even at some local parts stores.
