    Hey all,

    hope I'm not asking too many questions here. Doing a lot of minor things to my truck lately and keep running into issues.

    Recently I discovered that my tailgate handle is missing one of the bolts that secures it in place (used to be there, no idea what happened as it's not anywhere inside the gate). I cannot for the life of me find a bolt to replace it. It has a 10mm head with a philips drive. The screw pattern looks like a machine screw and is about 1/2" long. I believe it to be m6 1.0

    I figured while I'm at it I should replace the 4 screws I'm missing from my access cover. They look more like sheet metal screws, and have a head similar to #14 (but flatter) and appear to be a little less than 3/4" long.

    Any help is greatly appreciated in helping me find out where to get these. I couldn't any info for them on parts diagrams. I could always do a pick n pull but I'd prefer not to if possible.

    side note: anyone know where I can get the right size christmas tree clips that hold my mud guards behind the front suspension in place? (the ones that keep gunk from splashing into the engine bay)

    THANKS!

    I think he’s talking about the 10mm bolt that holds the latch in place under the access panel. I’m having that issue at the moment. But I let mine escape, somewhere and can’t find them.

    Does anyone have ANY clue what that part number is? It is not listed in the above diagrams.
