Re: 1960 gmc grill rivets
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 B |

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

Re: 1960 gmc grill rivets
Is this the headlight buckets sheetmetal piece? Why not regular steel pop rivets?

Re: 1960 gmc grill rivets
