47 - 54 chevy truck hood hinge bolts

I've searched the forum and found tons of helpful posts about adjusting the hood and fenders but nothing about exactly where the shouldered hood hinge bolts go. I bought the truck in pieces.
I bought a pack of "hood hinge bolts" that came with 6 large and 2 smaller shouldered bolts. The description just said "hood hinge bolts" and didn't say whether it was enough for one or both hinges.

It looks like two of the large ones go to the hinge arm to hood attachment points/rods. However, I can't seem to figure out where the other shouldered bolts go.
Can someone please tell or show me where the 4 large shouldered bolts and the 2 smaller shouldered bolts go?

Thank you very much for your time.

Just looked at mine. Large head bolts mount double arm bracket to hood - 2 bolts each side
Small head bolt mounts spring arm to hood - 1 bolt each side
Good luck

Ah. Cool. So the pack I bought does do both hinges.

I've been stubbornly searching for this info in threads for a couple weeks but finally broke down and posted the question. Wish I had done it sooner. Got the answer in less than 20 minutes!

THNK YOU!

On the early 47-48 trucks the bolt shoulders were a different size than later years so make sure they fit without a lot of slop. The later bolt will not fit the early hinges without drilling them.
