if I remember right, they are the small 10mm bolts, same as valve cover bolts but alot shorter.

10 MM correct. Cann't think of the pitch but those bolts are everywhere on a 620.

 

1. Taillight housing to bed

2. Tailgate handles

3. under dash in various places (VERY clean if found at a junk yard-no paint and vsually untouched by a wrench) holding on flasher, etc.

4. Upper finder to inner fender (can be seen on side when hood is opened)

5. hood to hinges

6. various ignition components to inner finder

7. gas door to bed

 

These are common places to find the same bolts at a wrecking yard.

10mm is the head size not the bolt size. If your looking for the correct tap size its most likely m6 x 1.00, not positive but do know if you get 10mm tap it will be way too big

i got mine at the local ace hard ware, i had to buy stainless but that is cool with me, i used the same bolts on the fenders, the valance ones are just longer , take a fender bolt to a hardware store, find a nut to fit it and then buy bolts that fit the nut.
