Dissembled my truck many yrs ago , can not identify these 2 bolts . I looked in my assembly manual but no dice.
And there’s just 2 of them .

**1968k20** · 02-05-2019, 12:16 PM

Inside front fender wheel well area

X2 inner fender bolts, from the wheel side to the firewall.

I have the both shims

I'm not familiar with those shims. I don't think I've ever seen them. I'll have to look into that. Interesting.

That makes two of us. My truck didn't have these "as required". Makes me wanna get some for the rebuild, just in case they "are required"

Page 307 & 308 in the assembly manual.

Some trucks have them and some don't. Just start the bolt, hook the shim on the bolt and they stay in place while you tighten them up.

You might read through this thread.

I haven't read the whole thing so I don't know if it was finished or not but they were working on it hot and heavy for quite a while.

When you're really bored number every other page until you've reached 1064

A few of the members here were good enough to ID every page on a spreadsheet. They did a great job, I have it in Word.
