56 Chevy Truck front inner fender connection
 
I am putting together a 56 chevy truck from parts. I have a factory assembly manual, but I can't figure out the connections of the inner fender.
I can see where it attaches to the outer fender and the radiator frame.
There is a connection on the bottom of the inner fender closest to the cab, but I can't see what and where it attaches.
Any suggestions for a manual or pictures.

The inner splash aprons attach to the two brackets (left and right) that are bolted to toe boards/floor of cab, here is a pic of mine you can see the head of bolt bracket is hidden behind splash apron.

bottom fender attaches to this bracket if you have them.

as rude dude mention, the inner fend mounts to the firewall with 2 angle brackets
item #3 on the top of lmc catalog pg 15
both brackets mount the same direction, they bolt on with the anti squeak rubber washers

just to right of steering column there is an L shaped bracket bolted to toe board that has a threaded hole in it that is where inner fender attaches with bolt and large rubber grommets or pads
