Just wondering what people are using to replace missing rear panel screws. My 1977 is missing a few and a couple appear to be stripped. Anyone tried using a nut insert or would something like that hold? Any suggestions certainly appreciated. Hal

Here's a link to Dan Winchester's page on the rear hatch screws.

Hope this helps.

My attitude about what we charge for parts is that ;
If you have time to figur parts out and put together the hdw. then do it
your self, but if you want to aquire it from us and save time and
frustration, then get it from us and please don't second guess the price
and write that were charging too much. Non of the GMC shops are getting
welthy from the community. Bounds at Coop can't care if he sells a part as
he is in the business of redoing vehicles.
I our case, if it is not for our Air Filter side, we would need to close
down the parts as it is too labor intensive for what we earn.
