Default Assembly Manual -- Decoding the Fasteners

Bought a 1969 several weeks ago. It was being prepped for paint, so several items (head/tail/parking lights, some trim, etc) were removed.

I am trying to get the car back on the road and as I am putting parts back on, I seem to have some, not all, of the connectors required. The latest saga is the parking lights.

I have the assembly guide and have found the page with the data I need, but I can't seem to track down the secret decoder ring for the various nuts, bolts, washers, screws, etc based off the part numbers in the manual. I am hoping that I just missed it, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any guidance,
Dave

Call Paragon and ask them for their fastener chart. That and a couple of bucks will get your answers.

Thanks BB. I'll give that a try.

Looks like their catalog can be downloaded as well... http://www.corvette-paragon.com/

Update: took a look at the catalog and it doesn't have the particular fasteners that I am looking for (I may call them later and see if I am just missing something).
So, if someone know how to decode the fasteners in the assembly guide, so I can just go to the HW store, that would be great.

My 1980 Corvette parts catalogue lists fastener sizes. You may want to scout around and see if you can find a used copy. New reprints are pricey.
