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.
