Tailight screw size?
Can't find the screws to my taillight lens. Anyone know the size and length of those.

Thanks Mike. If you don't mind, does the parking light use the same screw.

I believe it is the same diameter, but shorter in length.

According to the bible..uh, parts catalog, Rich is right. They're shorter but not by much. 8-18 X 1 1/8"

SCRATCH that!! I looked up the side marker lights, let me see about the parking lights, BRB.
Okay, the parking light screws are 8-18 X 3/4" It also looks like it's a shoulder screw instead of a regular screw
P/N 376328-S
There are quite a few still out there.
Green Sales is one, they have 22 (800)543-4959

That is what I was thinking of getting also to prevent them from rust.

Definitely the way to go in my book...I replaced 95% of the factory bolts & screws with SS....some where hard to find but they are out there!! Let me know if you need any help or info, and I might even have some spares laying around!!
