Inner fender install question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

AusTx68 · 07-16-2010, 05:58 AM

Its been a while since I first tore down my truck and now that I'm putting it all back together some small things have me puzzled. For instance, I'm installing my newly painted aftermarket fender wells. I'm using a stainless bolt kit but I'm curious about the large sqaure hole near the back of the inner fender. Clearly it bolts to the cab just below the firewall but the square hole is too big to support a bolt. The bolt kit didn't come with this bolt either. Was there a special bolt with a backing plate?

Where can I find replacements? I didn't see these in the LMC catalog.

Yes it's a big, fairly think, "Fender washer" looking disc, that has a rolled up edge. It's kind of like a saucer. The bolt is nothing special, just fairly short.

I used a large fender washer, as longhair mentioned, and a nice looking bolt.

Heres a couple of pics for you. I thought i have seen them at LMC before... I will look through my bolt bucket in a little bit, i MAY have some as i have parterd a few of these out in the past...

gcburdic · 07-16-2010, 08:56 AM

Heath....let us know if you cannot find yours....I know I just saw some I had.....

AusTx68....if Heath cannot find his, I'll send ya mine.....

AusTx68 · 07-16-2010, 11:13 AM

Hey thanks guys. I'm currently out of the country and will return the day before the Austin Heat Wave. It will be the first cruise since getting my truck street legal. Id truly appreciate if I could find these in the mail when I get home

That would give me a day to finish installing fender wells. I'll PM you both my information. This will most likely be my last access to the Internet until I return next Thursday. It seems Italians aren't big into the Internet..yet.

AusTx68 · 07-16-2010, 11:17 AM

PMs Sent. Thanks guys!

Im so worried about getting mine back together again after I tore it all apart last fall. I have forgotten how everything went......

Give me a shout if you need a extra pair of hands.....

my67chevytruck · 07-17-2010, 07:57 AM

I just searched my bolt buckets, and I have just about every bolt, but these.
Geoff, your up.
Sorry about that, I typically save every bolt.

gcburdic · 07-18-2010, 08:51 PM

Just found 'em...on their way tomorrow

Lots of these auto-specific fasteners are impossible to find at Home Depot or most Ace Hardwares .... check your community for a retailer who stocks the line of Au-Ve-Co fasteners ... this product line has scads of the fasteners specific to automotive applications.
