Does anyone have a dorman (or whoever) part number for the big screws that hold the armrest/door pull?

Thanks!

I can pull one today and measure for you... You don't need a specific part, just a screw with the right specs.

No rush. I’ve been too overwhelmed by work and garage stuff to even think about it.

It measures 0.245 x 1.575 and ~14 TPI. It has a #3 philips pan head and a pointed tip. The 0.245 diameter makes it a #14 the 1.575 length is probably a 1.500 straight length plus pointed tip.

14 TPI is the weirdest part. Most of the pointed screws McMaster lists are 10 TPI. McMaster does have a smaller listing of 14 TPI screws... the only kind with philips drive is this: https://www.mcmaster.com/92525A169/ Which is blunt rather than pointed. It should work fine as a replacement as the point is only really needed for the first install.

McMaster lists 14 TPI screws with tamper-resistant torx heads, so if you need to keep people from stealing your arm rests at shows, that would be the screw you'd want.
