Fred,
In the addendum at the rear of the book are complete charts that indicate exactly what you are seeking.
I went to additional effort to list ONLY those fasteners found on a '40 Ford passenger car.
And, unlike a parts book, the addendum lists the CONCOURSE CORRECT finishes. As a reminder to any serious restorer, parts books list parts that fit and function but are not necessarily correct.
This is OFTEN true in regard to fasteners.
