I believe he's talking about these washers... these are from my fender.
(Mine have a bunch of rust etc on them. I haven't cleaned them up yet).

They are called "Toothed Periphery Type Washers". Google the name and you will see what the gentlemen are referring to for washers.
Kendelrio, you can either sandblast your hardware which will remove the rust and the plating or there's a two step process I used. I blasted them with a walnut media to remove the paint and then soaked them in Evaporust. Tedious work but they turn out great.

Thanks for the input. Probably 10% of these washers are metal fatigued and crumble once I clean them up with wire wheel on my bench grinder. Most of the bolts/washers that I am working with look just like the picture that Kendelrio sent, thanks for that. Generally these kinds of washers aren’t reused so I’m not sure which direction I’ll go in yet. Will definitely check with Fastenal. As always thanks to all!

The toothed periphery washers are no longer a stocked item at Fastenal.
When they did have them the part numbers were:
Size / Fastenal# / Manufactuer #
5/16" / 10229-11704 / DSTP-0312-16-02
3/8" / 10229-11705 / DSTP-0375-16-01
Here's a catalog page from a company that shows some with sizes up to 1/2", but no ordering info (scroll down for toothed periphery washers). You might have to call to find out:
www.wclco.com
McMaster Carr seems to have some. Their catalog lists sizes for "Internal-Tooth Lockwashers for Soft Material". Unfortunately, 3/8" is the largest size listed, and the CAD drawing for that size appears to be round (the drawing for the 5/16" one is square).

Beadblast all, paint and save all the good ones.
Get a set of NF taps and do ALL the threaded holes in the truck before reassembly.
The worst are usually those holding down the floor pan over the transmission.
Dodge didn't do squat to prevent rust on these trucks, so it is up to you later.
Neverseize on the threads does wonders for longevity...

Progress made today:
Removed both fenders and separated them into their components, had to se the cutting wheel to get a few off that didn't want to loosen up or stripped out with the impact...
Changed the coil, the positive wire ring terminal only had 3 wires holding it on!
Tomorrow I'll be pulling the starter and cleaning it up to see if I can get her turned over and running...
After that, the deconstruction begins in earnest.
Had some good helpers today!
And I must thank @rtk again. It's nice having a .pdf to look at on my phone, but having the physical TM actually saved me SO MUCH TIME!

A nice upgrade to the ignition system in the future is a Pertronix ignition system , does away with the points and condenser , while still using the original distributor and coil , not a lot of money and fairly easy install , bob k

You all need to go listen to that great song, "I don't look good naked anymore", a few times! After hitting 60, I stopped worrying about how I look, and started worrying about being warm in the winter. I save my sexy time for deep summer.

The weather cooperated and I was able to get some things done.
Removed the rearview mirrors, windshield, doors, rear fenders, troop seats and hood.
In the process of getting under the dash to take off the windshield/vacuum tube for the wipers, I found the cowl vent has been bondoed over!
Probably gonna need a new cab....
Probably Wednesday I'll be pulling the bed....
The parts pile...

Also during the process I found out that the original vacuum operated wipers had been swapped for electric at some point.
Brilliant design on the hollow bolt/vacuum channel!
Question for opinions:
Better to have the vacuum operated wipers or electric?

.
Electric is going to be more reliable. Vacuum operated wipers have a serious lack of vacuum on a long up hill pull for example. The manifold vacuum will go almost to zero and the wipers will stall. No big deal, unless it is raining hard... Electric wipers keep moving until the motor burns up.
