Hello! Most of the part suppliers offer screw rivets (Brattons#18280). Mostly used for the headlights. I think they would look good in areas where I don't have the abililty to get to some of the body rivets in with actual rivets. They would look better than bolts I think. Does anyone know if I can get larger ones? I have looked on the Internet and called just about every local nut and bolt supplier and none of them have ever seem them. Obviously someone makes them. Carriage and step bolts won't work unless you file out every hole for the square shoulder. Any advice? Thanks!

You can cut or grind the corners off the square part on carriage bolts.

I used those screw rivets for headlites when I restored the cab on a 28 OCPU years ago.I noticed that the head on the screw rivets was the same size as the rivets that join the rear 1/4 panels to the rear panel on the cab.Once I had them installed & painted,you couldnt tell it from the original.
