1955 C3100 1st series

hi,

I am working on the truck but I am finding a number of bolts or screws with a dogbone type key in the head of the screw. Does anyone know where to get a wrench set that has this type of key?.. Pic attached

I looked at a set available from classic truck parts but they were only sold in sets an retailed for $ 40 - solution cut a slit down the middle with the old die grinder and remove with a flat head screw driver an replace with modern hardware....... Just a thought worked for me goodluck

You can get those from Harbor Freight. They come in a set that has about forty different style bits and costs about $10.
