66 C10 Headlight Backing Plates

Hello,
Spaced, and did not take pics before disassembly. Now I have grille and backing plates painted and ready to put back together.
I do not recall how the backing plate tabs go... 2 outer Def go under the grill tabs, but not sure about the other two.
Anyone have one they can check? ...these originally were riveted.
Thank you
Manuel

Good luck with it.
Couple of pointers:
Put the bezel clips that hold the headlight bezels in before attaching the brackets.
mock up the adjusting screws first to the headlight buckets before installing the plastic inserts.
Call me at 423 736 0421 if need any further assistance.
