Have you tried your local hardware store? (if you have one) They are a vanishing breed in the smaller towns. My local (12 miles away) Ace hardware has a pretty good selection of that kind of stuff. LockDoc

Yeah, you need to check a hardware store. The older the better. On another note my daughter lives in Spring, and my grandson in Baytown. We haven't been down there for a while but my wife has been hinting....  LockDoc

Re: vent window pivot rivet
Bought my kit from GMCPauls, enough for both windows. You only get 2 of the pivot rivets and 26 small ones.

It took considerable force to stake them but I'm very happy with the results. Nice tight hinges now. I can look to see if I still have a few I can send you.. |

Re: vent window pivot rivet
Got mine from classic parts. They work well but having a helper can make a huge difference.

Re: vent window pivot rivet
Classic Parts has what you need part# 03-831 are the rivets, while part#03-835 is the tool needed to set the rivets. I have done these several times, and the vents need to be out of the truck to do properly.
