It's not a screw, its a roll pin, 5/64 X 1/2 L. It's a tight fit on the lid and the pin pivots on the ash tray itself. If an over size one is needed, go to a 3/32 X 1/2L (you may have to cut the length to fit). Over time, nails get substituted and forced in enlarging the hole in the lid.

     or you can use a finishing nail.  Pick one size that will fit, cut to length, install and crimp the cut end with pliers and there you have it.  The ash tray lid has the C4ZB part number, the oval and FoMoCo, and a ' W ' logo.  The W logo has a D and opposite it a C.  Anyone know that logo ?  Brian

My vote is for roll pin like Jim mentioned.  They're not that hard to find.
