Bedside fender brace hardware set up? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can anyone confirm the bed brace hardware set-up for the fender side? The bed brace runs from the fender, front of tire, to a bed rail.

I believe it's one bolt, one washer and one nut. The bolt slides in from the inside, and there's just the nut on the outside. Edit...Incorrect. The restorations I've seen were wrong.

Thank you.........

It's the details.

The correct assembly, working from the outside of fender in:

1. Bolt with integral washer (head faces down). Assembly reads "SCREW & WASHER ASM".

2. Fender

3. Fender brace

4. Lock washer

5. Nut
