I'm organizing my ziplock bags of parts getting ready for re-assembly, but I've run across some bolts that were mislabeled.

Anyone know what these are?

I thought the studs w/ nuts on them were maybe the rear quarter panel extension bolts, but they aren't. The studs are smaller diamater and the nuts aren't the same. (see last photo for comparison) Maybe headlight bucket to front fender bolts?

And I'm completely lost on the 4 countersunk screws. I thought door jamb latch screws, but they're too small; just 1/2" long.

Both were in a bag labeled "rear valance" which they aren't.

Thanks!

The screws are from the gas tank filler neck. The others could be from the back up, park or running lights.

A AMK body hardware kit is very helpful when reassembling a car, They are in marked bags and look new and correct like the car is now. After 50 years some things have been lost and replaced incorrectly.

Perfect! Thanks so much! I just checked the gas tank filler and the body shop had used the wrong screws when reassembling. They had the right screws, which they gave me back in a bag with other misc fasteners. They just didn't realize where they went.

And yes, those studs are for the backup lights. So my "rear valance" note on the ziplock back wasn't wrong. It just wasn't detailed enough to jog my memory a year+ later! :rolleyes:
