Gary Lewis Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Glad to contribute in some way other than knowledge about these trucks which I don't have much of quite yet. This site really is much more helpful than one of the bigger more general forums. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp470 Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Thanks! Well, it was a lot easier to get the headlight assembly in properly without the grille and the lightbulb in the way. Unfortunately I stripped the threads off of the adjusting bolt so it's no more. Any idea what the thread pitch / size is on these? I looked at the diagram but it wasn't listed.

I'm with Bill - you may be able to find it in the Help section. But, to answer your question it is a 10-32 screw. However, it needs the ring at the top to ensure the headlight follows the screw. If you need one that one's an extra - just email me your address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the kind offer, I was able to rig something up using a similar bolt from Napa and some creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thank you for the kind offer, I was able to rig something up using a similar bolt from Napa and some creativity. Just to follow up on this, I've revised the information I had on this website about the headlight adjusting screw. If you had clicked on the blue box surrounding the #13032 on the page in the link you'd have been taken to a picture of the screw and nut and a link to Dennis Carpenter as a source. But, I've added the bit about it being a 10-32 screw as well as the Dorman number and another source - Amazon. In addition I've realized that the #13032 is oddly-placed on the master parts catalog's illustration that I'm using and isn't easily associated with the screw and nut. Yes, there are two black arrows pointing from it to those two items, but that wasn't intuitively obvious to me, so I added red arrows hoping to make it more obvious. All in all, this has been a very helpful exchange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be a lot of work put into these things sometimes, I'm glad you're finding the opportunities, Gary. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 It's coming along nicely. There are also two Napa part numbers: NOE 6651685 and 6651072. It doesn't specify the differences between them. I think NAPA is a bit confused. Both part numbers are said to fit my truck, and both give you two items with the same UPC code. But one is $2.24 and one is $5.66. I know it says $2.24/ea, but it says you get 2 adjusting screws and it is the same UPC. But even if it really was each, that would be $4.48, not $5.66.
