Default Dash question on 85 monte ss

I have replaced the motor with a 350. I took out the dash as I am in the process of replacing guages. My problem is I have misplaced all of my bolts that connect the radio, air conditiner controls and headlight mounting switch at the dash. Can anyone clue me on what size screws these are. I cannot try to force anything since everything is so brittle. Does anyone know what size and pitch of screws are used? This would be greatly appreciated. I can buy all different links from the local ace hardware. I just need to know the size so I can get everything back together. Thanks in advance.

Heres my Recommendation...
This way your sure to get the proper ones and where they belong...

Go to your local Chevrolet dealer, at the parts department...
ask to either see a parts catalog( for your vehicle) to get the proper bolts screws etc....
Or they may even photo copy the page to eliminate writeing it all down?

I don't believe anyone knows off the top of there head what size, how many or different types needed... It just may take doing a little homework....

Or,
Go to your local junkyard/pullapart and find your make/model and get all the proper bolts,screws,clips etc... that your missing!

Keep us posted on your progress and don't forget to add some pics!

Default Lack of Pictures

I will definitely post pictures soon. I am ashamed to show how dirty it is right now. I am beginning to think I got really ripped on this car, but I am working my way out of it. I kind of thought that may be the way to approach it as I have been unable to find any information on it. I found some of the bolts last night in the plastic bags which I had marked them. That is why I was surprised I lost them. I have a habit of bagging and tagging when I take stuff apart so it is not like me to loose bolts during a project. However, I would like to put new bolts in anyways. I have not had a chance to make it to the parts store yet since I am by myself at work for the last month and a half. Has taken a serious toll on my project. Since I have had this car, the 305 melted down and it has been one thing after the other since they had started taking the computer out and never finished.
