1960 gmc grill rivets
 

does anyone know how to install the factory rivets on the Gmc grill? or the toll that does it?

60,

I'm not in front of the truck right now, but I assume they are not pop (or blind) rivets, but more like the ones that hold the front turn signal lense to the housing?

If so, then they are regular rivets as used in the airplane industry- they fasten with a tool like this http://m.skygeek.com/aircraft-tool-s...FZdWDQod2RoK1A

thanks, no matter where I looked I could not find a tool that made sense. now I need to find someone with the toll not gonna buy one just for the grill

You're welcome to come over and use mine. I used new turn signal lenses as an excuse to buy one! :)

Is this the headlight buckets sheetmetal piece? Why not regular steel pop rivets?

whole grill I took It apart. they make a bolt set but really wanted to use the factory rivets a pop rivet will be to big, even the small ones.
