Bolt/Screw specifications - '58 Assembly Manual

[Don E.]

Hello all, While reviewing the '58 Assembly Manual, I attempted to locate the specification sheet for bolts, nuts and screws but so far it has eluded me. Can anyone shed some light on where I can find the reference tables the specify the dimensions and threads?

There exists no generally available reference for the fasteners. The best you can do is the section 8.9 of early P&A Catalogs or later Standard Parts Catalogs. Unfortunately, the majority of fasteners used in PRODUCTION were never available in SERVICE.

GM blueprint always; std parts book less often

AIM almost never, as in never.

Joe/Geoffrey, Thank you for the quick response and info. At this point, I would be happy with reference/guidance on the correct screws (Standard/Philips),for the large and small access panels for both doors. Any suggestions?
