Taillight Screws

I know this is an odd question, but does anyone know the size of the tail light screws for a '77 F-250. I lost one, and haven't had any luck trying to match them up with screws at the hardware store.
I thought maybe if I had a thread size it would be a little easier. Thanks.

Brendan

Taillight Screws

Brendan,
Try a #8 sheet metal screw about an inch and a half long. Get a stainless steel screw so it doesn't rust.
Did you try and pull a remaining screw to compare to?

The Kingfisher is right on with the stainless screws. I replaced my rusty tail light screws with stainless about 3 years ago. If there is a Home Depot or Lowes home improvement near you, they will have a good selection of stainless.
