I hope this helps someone restoring a GORF in the future. I decided to try and replace the original wood screws that hold the upper cab to the lower cab, as mine were rusty and just looked like hell. Here are the original rusted fucks:

And you can see the old ones in comparison:
So, there you go. # 10 x 1 1/4" Phillips Flat Head Wood Screws (#3 bit). Make it easy on yourself.
