Looks to be the bolt that holds the defrosters to the dash, if that helps.

Hard to tell from a picture but these old Ford trucks had a lot of 5/16 bolts too which seem a little harder to get at the hardware store.

I can't find it in the parts books, my guess would be it's a #10 or #12 fine thread.

3/16-32 is listed in the hardware book (headlight focusing screw). It's an unusual size, but interchangeable with 10-32.

We were supposed to phase that in here in the colonies, but we prefer to remain dinosaurs. So resistant to change.
