Windscreen hinge to header screws
 

Anyone know the proper size screw type, length, thread pitch for the windscreen hinge to header fastener on 32-34 pickup?

If it is the same as my 32 sedan the thread is #12-24. The head is a pan head or binding head. I used 3/4" screws but they are a bit long. 1/2" would do. The screws are slotted.

Edit: I might be giving wrong info. These are for the bracket on the windshield frame to the hinge.

Note 32/34 PU [trucks] use a long 'piano' hinge. Full length rubber seal between hinge and body. Very flat head machine screws about 1/2' long. Nuts go on top of header strip. Take two persons to install usually. One full length hinge. Newc

Yes I have 2 of the frames with hinges. Nuts on my cab are cage nuts welded to body. They do look like a bear to install especially after fitted with glass.

I bought a package of 4 screws from ThirdGen that stated for 32-36 closed car windshield to header but I need 6 more. They appear to measure 12-24. Went to my local how store that has a massive collection and didn’t find any 12-24. McMaster only has SS to match.

Guess I will do a test fit of hinge and frame with screw set before I order 4 more from thirdgen.

Thanks Tony. Worth a look.
