The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks 63 headlight bezel screws

Ok, stupid question time. I took off my headlightbezels today to replace rusty screws with stainless ones. I noticed that the bottom ones (screws) were missing. I attempted to screw the same sized ones in the bottom to no avail. The clip that the screw goes into appears to be different than the other two. The top clips appear to be two sided and the bottom ones appear to be one sided, or broken.I'm thinking they are broken and the previous owner removed them for paint and failed to replace them. If they are broken is there a scource for them? I am stumped, anyone else run into this? If it is a different size, any know what it is? PS I am not a mechanic, just a guy who loves my truck!
Thanks,
Pete

start scouting salvage yards with your screwdriver

So they are all the same? Or are the ones on the bottom different? Are they on other years? Thanks for your help!

Just talked to ACTP's not being reproduced.

they are all the same. so if someone changed a headlight, just think how fast the right one would have been placed in the wrong hole. over 50 years clips get broken; someone drops a screw,can't find it substitutes it and presto. different screw

Thank you, that clarifies that they are the same, now if I can find two of them!

We have what you need, in the original configuration, so let me know if I can help.

Thanks, I tried calling today a few times, I figure you were out in the yard. I actually scored a set today (and a whole new grill) off Craigslist here today if you can believe that! They are different in that the bottom ones are narrower although the side ones would work on the bottom. Thank everyone for your help and advice. Sometimes when messing with these old trucks you feel like you are out there alone. Not here though! Heck, NAPA dosen't even stock thr Rochester carb for my truck any more. I did get the rebuild kit there though and was able to rebuild it for about Sixteen bucks, as opposed to two hundred for the reman ones I saw elsewhere. Again guys, thanks a squillion.

I know I have 2 different sizes on my truck
They wern't intended that way but as long as the head looked the same I rammed them home.

The tiny slotted screws, with thread-chaser ends on them, that secure stainless steel trim ring & headlight, to the bucket are all the same size. The three screws & J-clips, that secure the headlight bezel, to the grille shell, are all the same size, as well.
