Looking for the correct screw size & length for the sill plates. Recently found mine in the storage area.

Thanks,
Larry

Larry I remember these as #6 X 3/4" "Oval Head" screws, I would check one of the 1.1 billion Camaro sites for confirmation and a supplier. Harry

I think they were actually #8 screws, but they often need to be replaced with #10's if the holes are stripped. The OEM screws were chrome plated, probably with integral washers, but I like to replace them with polished stainless without washers. Good source for polished SS screws is a marine supply store.
