B pillar screws ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68 50th · 01-29-2006, 07:15 AM

I have 3 screws on each b pillar I and wonder if anyone knows if they are original and supposed to be used for something.
I have drilled out a row of buttons (looked like the ones that holds the tank cover carpet) that were attached all around the rear window, I was told they been used for a cab to camper boot.
? is if I should weld the screw holes while I'm at it welding the button holes or if I should leave screws in place, any ideas?

Thanks

If you not gonna use em then I would suggest them to be filled in . I would venture to guess that they were used for a camper boot but that may not be the case...

OK, the screws might have been used for the camper boot.
They are placed in a pretty straight line on both sides while the boot buttons were NOT in a straight line and that made me think the screws could of been some original stuff.
Thanks for the reply.
