The screw is the stud. You need to use one of the ideas to repair the nut which is contained in the door. Then when the nut is repaired, find a machine screw to match the newly repaired nut.

To find the nut, you may be able to turn the flange between the door and the handle 90 degrees to expose the two nuts.

Thanks for the help. I'll get the door panel off this weekend and see just what I've got.

Got home and took a look at taking the door panel off. What is holding the door and window handles on? Is there a set screw or clip?

The escuteon is a two piece affair with a spring between them. Push down on the small diameter portion and as WB said you will see a pin to drive out.

Ok guys, here's what I found out. I removed the two screws and turned the flange sideways. I took a long bolt and ran it into the screw hole. It went in about 3" before it hit something. I moved the bolt around from side to side and up and down and there is nothing there for the bolt to screw into. I believe what I'm hitting is the back of the door where the door panel screw onto. This does not sound good. What do you guys think?

That doesn't sound good. From the looks of the bolt hole, it looks like the captive nut arrangement may be broken off.

Now, I am thinking that maybe you could roll the window up and take the access door off of the inside door panel. Then reach up toward the door handle and start a washer and nut on a machine screw that an assistant would be holding in the flange.

As luck would have it, my son drove up from Nashville this weekend and brought his girlfriend (looks like soon to be wife) so the wife and I are entertaining them this weekend. Going to have to take a detour from the door issue. I might have some time late this afternoon to get the plate lights wired up. The bolts that hold the plate on are also the plate lights. The prior owner just cut all the wires when he pulled his plates of the truck.

Just a little update. The door handles work fine except for the screws being loose so I'm putting that off for a while. Purchased a couple 3 pt hitch seat belts that I'll be installing this weekend (Better half has to have them). Also bought a couple new shocks for the front. Compressed length 8.75" and extended is 13". Man were those tough to locate. Ended up buying a set of Monroe Sensor Trac shocks off eBay that were for a 1946 - 1948 Dodge truck custom. Should be here next week. Also meet a new friend last week who lives just a few blocks away. He was walking his dog and saw my 37 in the garage so he stopped to talk. Turns out he has a black 37 Humpback street rod with red and white interior. Nice ole boy to talk to.

Was the bolt hole spacing the same? I like those and the fact they lock, might have to get a set for the panel

No spacing issues at all. I forget where I saw them first listed as alternates, but I do like the looks of them. You do have to cut down the part that goes into the door because it is way too long.

It was 28 degrees this morning so I fired the portable heater up, got a cup of coffee and headed out to the garage to work on the 37. I got all the old interior pulled out and cab cleaned, installed some new 3 pt hitch seat belts (Orders from the better half), and got to check out the door handle issue. The door handles were held on with nails and not pins. I reached up inside and sure enough there was nothing there to run a screw into. Looks like someone had cut a hole and been in there before. After pulling the door panels off the doors were loose so I had to readjust the door latches as the padding on the doors was making the doors hard to close. After adjusting the doors work nice now. I'll be stopping on the way home from work to pick up some screws, nuts, and washers to get the doors tight. Now the big job of all new interior.
