'48 was the only year they didn't use that style
screw. There was an embargo on goods from India and they wouldn't let any ships into the country. GM, for lack of a better phrase "didn't get screwed".
Joker, go down to Home Depot and buy a set of clutch heads, then you will always have the proper size..do it before another embargo happens!

When I worked at Home Depot we didn't have clutch head screw drivers.
I got a set of clutch head "bits" that you can put in a drill or a screwdriver handle at Elliot's Hardware on Motor street in Dallas. They also had them individually.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure that you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!
