Not the door panel screws, but what they screw into - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

AJLChase · 05-13-2011, 09:52 PM

I just purchased some new door panels for my 67 and it's been awhile since I had taken off the old stock door panels. I didn't realize there were clips with threads within the door where the door panel "screws"are screwed in. I seem to be missing a few of these clips and won't be able to install the panels until I replace them. Any vendors that sell these? I've checked Brothers,GMCPauls and LMC and didn't come acrossed any.

Thanks!

If you're talking about the bottom 4 screws that hold the panels in place, I used license plate screws from my local Autozone. I found ones with plastic square nuts that fit perfectly in place of the metal ones. On my rig, the screws were rusted in, and I decided to just hit the hole nut out rather than deal with trying to get the screws out. Looks good to me!

**leddzepp** · 12-19-2011, 02:28 PM

As stated, these can be bought at any auto parts store....autozone, oreillys, etc.

Assumeing your talking about the sqaure metal nuts that are pressed in the doors for the 4 bottom screws. The 69 I just finished hade a couple missing so I just took some of those white square plastic license plate pop in clips and snapped in the square holes in the door then ran a tap in them for the screws. I also did this for the armrest.
