They were used on a ton of different GM applications. On the Firebirds they were also used to hold the rear window filler panel (the one between the window and the trunklid) in place.

Steve-
The pic's that Craig and Ric posted are the correct screws for the flares.The screw you show in this picture is also a 70-71 Firebird screw. The filler panel between the trunk deck lid and the rear window,attached is a picture of a similar screw as the one for teh flares,may be the same...looks a slight bit different, on the 18K RAIV that Matt sold to the guy in Calgary. I have also seen those screws(the one you show in this picture,not the type for the flares) on the cowl screen, the two mounts in the center where the wind shield wiper rests. I have also seen regular round phillips used on the cowl screen, but more than not this type screw. But look at the picture shown here.this is a car that has never been apart.Matt can attest to this, easpecially the trunk ,which looked like it was 1970 all over again, I don't think the spare has ever been removed or the jack removed from this trunk..The screws from NAPA I think have a larger head. There is another place I buy trim screws from in Oklahoma, I cannot find their name right now.. If needed, I can look further and find them. But they have a full listing of every type original clip, fastener etc for 70's era cars.. They had the exact,I mean the absolutely exact same screws as the originals i had for the flares...
