Stock radio thread size - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know what size the threads are for the posts on the stock AM radio? I've had a hell of a time finding a replacement for the locknuts that hold it in the dash opening. I figured they'd be something standard like the ones in the lighting dept at home depot, but they seem to be some wierd size and pitch.

Check with some of the local stereo installers in your area and they may have something around that will work.
