Hex heads?

I'm replaceing bolts in my dash, and my glovebox is missing bolts so i'd like to finish everything off with hex (allen) bolts to give it a more finished look.

Where can i find screws for the glovebox? What size are they? ect.

Im pretty sure they are #6x1/2". They can be had from any good hardware store. I would stay away from SLowes or Home De POT or some high school kid would say "duuuuh we dont sell truck parts" Expect to pay about a dime each and I think it takes 14. Just curious why you want allen head bolts? They would protrude into the opening of the glovebox atleast a 1/4" to 3/8" all the way around. Thats the beauty of the OEM pan head phillips screws. They dont stick out. Good luck

ahhh.....I was thinking about the raised head allen bolts that you see a lot on motorcycles. The ones that can be tightened down with your fingers.
