Default 73 Original Tail Light Screws?

Were the tail light screws for the 73 Vette originally black or chrome?

Thanks

They were black

Last time I checked the major vendors were not carrying them--not sure why.

A machine screw painted black will work, but the originals have a 1/4" without threads on them. If someone starts to unscrew one off your car to check, just hit them.
