My next question, was going to be about the long screws, guess they didn't make them that way. So you have a 6 gear ce without the dot screws? And yes I also do restore Auto's on the side, That's were I became the way I am. I did a 1965 mustang coupe, It was a full resto, I now all about the wax inspection markings, those are the little things ( to me anyway) that make all the difference in the world. . Marlo

I'll have to look into some of the old 12E/i long screws I have and see if they have dots, might be a variation in some cars....you'd go nuts after seeing all that we've found so far

Follow the Link in the rules for BST info-

The dots seem to be around 1989-91 ish (maybe)

yeah, i'm glad you didn't take offense to my remarks, you have to see the full range of restorations and rebuilds to get an appreciation of the level of detail

I've got a 10T #7011, and a gt, both nib, they both have them. I think that they are 1993 trucks. Built cars, that I have them with are my CE's, and one 7001. But form graphite down, they are not to be found But like I said my 6 gear CE has a mix of them. Marlo

No offence taken, its all good,

Now to stay on topic about being picky, as some of you may know,or not know, (or even care ) . The screw variations do not end there. All screws, with the exceptions of the cap heads all have their variations. Early 10's had 4 large dots stamped in the head, mid 10's hade the same but the 4 dots were smaller, then they were stamped with the word yes, ( I think ) then smooth finish. But cap heads still did go through some variations of there own. Early on they were smooth, then with a light ribbed design then a heavy ribbed finish. But I may be wrong

[jwscab]

it all has to do with the specific vendor. each has their own marking and stamping dies/rollers.

I've got 10 of them on my 10T that I wouldn't mind letting go, they're by no means "new" though. It doesn't matter to me if they have the little dot or not, I'd actually rather have hex heads

I don't know if it'd be against the rules dealing even though I'm not part of the BST yet... either way, I'd like to get some replacement screws before I dismantle the truck...

Sorry, I'm looking for new one's, I don't think I'm aloud to do the bst thing either. If your going to change them go with the blue
