Weird screws on 51

What are the oddly slotted bolts on the upper radiator support hood latch and the headlights called? They are almost oval slotted... I'll get a pic if you need one but I figure y'all know... Seems like the inner bed has em too...can you get tools for these?

Clutch head screws. You can get drivers for them if you look around. Most of the truck parts companies will have them.

Thanks so much! I saw them mentioned on here a couple of weeks ago... Then couldn't remember what they were called so my searches were not working

Thanks for the Napa tool numbers Braindamage, the screw drivers show up in the napaonline.com site when you put them in their search. Most stores would probably have to order them but it may save a road trip to a store that has them or at least save shipping costs.
