I’m looking for new screws for my headlight bezels/surrounds for a 72 Dart/Demon. I believe there are (6) 1” long fine thread Phillips head screws with a tapered/pointed end and then (2) similar shaped and thread screws that are right at 3” long. They are black but at this point I can’t paint them if need be.

For an application where the screws don't have to be OEM correct, and you're screwing into the plastic bushings, a regular-pitch screw works.
I've had to do that when a previous owner either lost the OEM screws or used regular ones, and the car was never gonna be a correct restoration again.

I understand that, but I’m looking for the correct screws

Thinking about it, I don't recall any of the screws being 3" long on the '70-'72s.
Maybe I'm wrong, as I presume the OP measured them.

You can try this guy:

Not the pitch requested, but search his store.
I've bought hard-to-find stuff from them before, no problems.

They’re longer than 2 3/4” not quite 3” but close enough that I called it 3”. I’ll take a look there and at R/T specialties. As a heads up top outer screw is the “3” inch one. The other three are each the “1” inch screws

Thank you very much. Tom at R/T Specialties had exactly what I needed. The screws are located in a kit, I didn’t need the other stuff in the kit but I ordered two kits anyway. The kit number for anyone looking is 1000179 1972 Dart grille fasteners.
