need lots of interior screws......
 

but refuse to pay lmc .95 each with something like $10 shipping. has anyone found any local hardware stores that have the screws for our trucks in black?

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

Check at Lowes or Home Depot and them paint them yourself. Just screw them all into a piece of cardboard and and shoot them with a spray can. That's what I do because I hate to spend money on stuff I can do myself.

is there pretty much 1 default size for everything? in case you are wondering i don't have the originals to compare to :)

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

You don't have any junkyards nearby you can find them at?

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

junk yards, yes. junk yards with these trucks, i found 1 truck and it was picked over something nasty :(

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

You can't find one screw on the entire truck that is the size you need? I guess you could buy or two of different sizes and try them. I bought a pack of #8 x 1" screws at Auto Zone recently to reinstall my tail light lense on my 79. The #8s look close to fitting tail lights, head lights and trim. The interior trim my take something a little smaller in diameter.

I think I paid $2.50 for a pack of eight at Auto Zone. There were four 1" and four 1 1/8" screws. Stainless steel. The 1" screws fit the tail lights perfectly. I hope that gets you started.

Saving money usually costs me more money in the end.

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

nope. like i said its gutted severely. both doors gone, all interior gone as well. i checked all the yards in and around anderson and that is the one square i have been able to locate.

see middle quote from ole blue. .31 for a screw vs .95 per screw plus $7-10 shipping.

edit: all in all i think im in the market for 31-35 screws!

If you dont mind a little ride, theres an excellent yard near gaffney off 11. It would be about an hour or so ride, but it may be worth it.

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

Alot of squares in a pick & pull in Greensboro , but it might be too far for you. Idont know where Anderson is . Good luck

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

I've found replacement screws for our truck's interiors at Ace and True Value hardware stores. You have to be careful, since one size screw doesn't fit all the applications. Too long or too short of a screw and you're screwed!

You didn't mention what year your truck is, Something like this would save the guess work; http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/81-82...ts_Accessories

I 2nd Ace Hardware. Even have painted stainless screws now. Few different colors i believe. Thats where i got all the new screws for my interior, different sizes, stainless, countersunk heads mostly.

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

I get mine at harbor freight

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

I second Harbor Freight first, ebay second, google search third - but check all before your buy. There are specialty interior suppliers on the net who sell these screws for low cost - and you can order exactly the correct screw for each application. These are special heads - I think often a #6 oval head with a #8 shank, and other sizes. Check it out.

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

My NAPA source has a selection of screws in chrome or black

Maybe this will help.

They some pretty big kits priced right.

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

yeah thats my problem without knowing what goes where i won't know the size. but i'll do some research to see if i can find the right size for all.

its an 82. and that looks exactly like what i need at a fairly decent price. i'll have to make sure its the ones i need. but at least i know people have them as a set!

worse case i guess i'll just need to sit down and figure out which ones i need for what and then determine the measurements and go from there.

thanks for the replys!

Did you click on the link I posted?

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

i did. im just a bit confused by it. do they fit our trucks? i can't seem to find anything stating that it will fit. great price and more then enough screws, but just want to make sure they will fit!

Re: need lots of interior screws......
 

I think so, all the screws on these trucks seem to #8 or #10s.
Just different lengths. Those kits seem to have several different lengths of the screws.
