Inner Fender bolt?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gcburdic · 03-05-2009, 10:03 PM

As I crawl around under my truck, I noticed that when we put the truck back together I think we missed a couple bolts on the inner fender that attaches to the firewall...this is a pic of the driver side inner fender.....anybody got any pics of what those bolts look like??....
Also, it looks like from the wheel side I'll need a washer of some sort too....anybody got any pics of what those look like too??...Do you know where I can find these??

Geoffrey, I wish I would have known it earlier, I would have sent them to you with the grommets. I'll check this weekend and see what I have. I believe I have what you need-the bolts & shims.

gcburdic · 03-05-2009, 10:36 PM

Well...I wish I would have posted this earlier!!!dang it....I really appreciate you looking....
By the way, it is a 68 truck...if that matters....

They are a 7/16" bolt, 1-3/4 inches long, with a 2-1/4" integral washer on it. Sorry, no pic.

gcburdic Those are some good pictures I will be putting my fenders on soon and I was going to ask if you could post pictures after you put the Bolts and Shims/Washers on So I can see what they look like when put on correctly Looks like a big Gap inbetween inner fender & firewall. I hope this isn't too much to ask for. I orderd mine Complete set of bolt here at Truckandcarshop a friend of mine made a trip down there and pickeed them up for me heres a picture from there catolog not a good one but you can see what the shims look like. Sheet Metal Fasteners Thanks Pablo

Kinda looks like you need the factory shims also. I didn't even know these had shims there till I took the 69' chevy apart I parted out and they fell out of the fender.

Here is a picture of the shim that was used between the fender liner and the cab.

Mine had shims like these

Botietruck · 03-07-2009, 08:09 PM

Geoffrey, Here's a pic of the bolts that I have, these are the ones you need. I do not have the shims that JimK posted, but I do have some like Black & Blue posted. My truck had the shims like JimK's. If you want, I can send them out Monday - 2 bolts and 4 shims (like the ones Black & blue posted). Just let me know.
