Does anyone have any idea what size/type of bolts are used for the steering column cover under the dash? I have the cover, just no bolts!!

There are actually two "covers". One is a large steel plate with 4 bolts (5/16-20) and the other is a tin cover that has 2 screws (#12 pan head sheet metal screws)

This one isn't tin. It's a heavier cover, so I'm guessing the 5/16-20.

What is that off of? Not too good a picture but it doesn't look like it is off of a '67-'72 GM truck....

Here is a picture of the '67-'72 GM steering column brackets and covers....

That was just a pic I found online. The cover I'm referring to is the black on in your pic.

OK, that one is made out of tin or thin sheet metal and uses the screws like projectking said.....

...I'd have to check but I think those (2) h.duty phillips head screws are 1/4"-20NC threads.

Not 100% sure because they could have been changed, but I went out and removed one from my '72 Dually and it was a #12 black phosphate type pan head sheet metal screw. The two for the heater control that go through the bottom of the dash are 1/4-20 Black phosphate phillips head machine screws though.
