    Looks like the one's used on the old chebbies, Snap-on has a bit to fit it. Maybe Craftsman, too...?

    Yep, you are correct....it's on a 51 chevy. Couldn't find a Craftsman bit to fit it. Snap On probably have one, but at this point I have no access to the Snap On man. I was wondering what it was called so I might be able to find tools on-line.

    Mobile home manufacturers used this type screw to attach the aluminum outer panels to the framework.

    For the record, I believe that's called a clutch head screw.
    I'd rather be in my garage. . .

    A flat screwdriver of just the right size will work in a pinch.
    John Deere used them in the 50's to hold the tin on.

    Thanks for the input!!!
    Found them on McMaster-Carr, 5 sizes in all (3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16, 1/4) I probably don't need them all but I ordered them all anyway.....After all, I want to reuse the screws.....
