interior screws, original or not? and where to get them?

[Bart F-350]

So, after all these years I'm busy getting the interior arranged, and being an Ambulance and have stood at a Mil.veh. dealer not every and all interior screws are present.

So here's my question, try to find original screws and use those, or just go on with generic screws?

If original, where to get them?

for this instance I'm dealing with the carpet and it's door sill whatever you call them? these black plastic things when you get in?
and the door cards and the plastic "bins" at the bottom?
is there a good adress as well for those plastic "plugs" you slide onto the door cards and them in those holes in the door itself? mine are all brittle and broken due to age.

Thanks for any good tip's

Wrecking yard?

I can go there, but I will only find Renaults and Peugeots, and absolutely no Ford F-350's or whatever :-(
I'm running a unicorn over here...

That's why it's important to have 2 of everything when you get into ancient vehicles. You'll just have bring another old ambulance and bring it back to France with you when you come visit our American junkyards.

I do believe LMC sells the screws, but I’ve had these ones saved on Amazon for a while and they look pretty dang close to the originals to me:

The only problem is you need to know what you are looking for.
