1939 truck windshield frame screws?
 

Had to drill the heads off the screws to get my windshield frame out so I could get glass put in it. Are all the holes the same size/thread? Only 1 screw came out and it looks to be 10-32. It’s from the frame join. I am trying to find what size to drill and tap the holes. I read through some old threads and some say 10-32 for some holes and 12-24 for other holes. Then some say 10-32 for all holes

Sorry my question was a bit vague so I edited it. I was trying to ask what size to drill and tap the holes

I come up with 10-32 from an extra screw I had left over

12X24 might be the for the hinge.

I looked around and can only find them in stainless so I got a bag of screws from third gen they looked ok in their picture but they are a wee bit short at half the length of the only original screw I was able to get out. The screws on carpenter site look like they might be longer in their picture.
Any recommendations on where to get them? Is there any place that has them not stainless?

Yes oval head.
The ones in your picture have 5 turns of thread the one I got out has 7 and the ones I bought have 4. I got that one out of the frame join which I would assume would be shorter than the screws that hold the arms and hinges on. Out of the 17 screws I got 1 out of the top side of the join, left 4 in the bottom side of the join and drilled the rest from the join (3) hinges (6) arms (4)

Ford 350152-S is the join screw, This is a special screw that has a slightly larger head and shallower countersink than common 82 degree 10-32 oval head. I remembered there was something special about these but could not remember the details until the above picture posted.
