Interior trim screws
 

What screws are used for the interior windshield garnish moldings on a 47 Pickup?

The screws I used on my 40 Ford look like this. I remember I bought them at ACE HARDWARE back in 1978. They are slotted. I think the OEM screws were cadnium plated.

Not sure about trucks being different than cars, but I thought that Ford switched to Phillips screws after the war. My nice original ‘46 Mercury has all Phillips screws in the interior.

I got mine in stainless from a West Marine store. Slotted oval head. I was driving my 47 pickup turned woodie on the mainland, so I was able to run one out to the parking lot and test it. My plan was to dull them down on a scotchbrite wheel, but when I finally got around to doing the buffing they turned up missing. Oh and the Ace over there only had them in phillips.
Edit: Art I see you are in Illinois, It was 19fordy that's in Coral Springs Fla. I figured you could just walk into a West Marine store, but maybe not in Hillsboro.

Thanks Pete.

You are correct.
The original poster needs to find phillips head, oval. Stainless.
These should be fairly easy to find. I might try Mike Driskell first just to make the search easy.

Screws tend not to have changed over the years. If you have a pattern measure the diameter. Look up a chart to find the screw number. Measure the length. Then search for a screw that length and number with a phillips oval head. Like Mike says, stainless are available and look nice when fitted. I found plenty listed on ebay when I needed some for a different application.

Mart.

Ace Hardware can be your nearest friend with these screws. Get the stainless ones.
