Re: 52 Project
Here's another good picture of the inner fender bracket if you're still looking (not mine):

Re: 52 Project
Thanks Bluejeep, dad ordered one from LMC truck and it seems like the right one. Looks just like the one in the above picture.
Do you know if the hood hinge bolts just a spacer or belleville washer on them? Seems like a lot of space between the head of the bolt and the hinge. I am talking about the hinge to hood interface. I should have taken some pictures of what I am talking about but didn't think about it. Bernie |

Re: 52 Project

Is the bolt threads too long and bottoming out in the captured nut in the hood?

Re: 52 Project
Here are a couple of pictures of the hinge bolts that I am questioning. In the first picture you can see I found a thick washer to take up some of the space. I am not sure if I am missing something or if that is just the way it is?

Re: 52 Project
Those are shoulder bolts and it looks like the shoulder is too large to fit inside the hinge. Where did you get the bolts?

We got them from LMC Truck, they are bottomed out against the hood and swivel on the hinge ok the only problem is the shoulders are to long...maybe. They might be ok or I am missing something else. Bernie |

Re: 52 Project
Looks like you need a bolt with a shoulder about 1/4/1/8" shorter.
I would suggest you go to a stainless bolt. Not much more $ but will look better and longer. I bought a complete set of stainless for the entire truck. However when I need a few items I go to the Bolt Depot. Check them out: http://www.boltdepot.com/dimension.a...67&cs=244&cm=6

Re: 52 Project
Bernie,
Do you think I need the firewall to radiator support braces ( I'm using a different firewall much like you) Also do you think I would need the inner fender support brace ( the one that the ebarke attached to, etc.) or can I just bolt it like the other side.. Right onto the toe board ( different toe bards than stock style too.) Thanks, Nick Nick Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 52 Project
If the bolt is bottomed out, can you use a washer (under the hex head) to close the gap where the shoulder of the bolt is showing?

Re: 52 Project
I have been busy doing everything but the truck for the past couple of months. Now that the weather has gotten a little cooler maybe I can get back on the truck. I mounted the AC unit and was trying to figure out the french head light kit last weekend. Here are a couple of pictures. I think this weekend I am going to try to weld in the buckets and see how they fit....has anyone done one of these before? I had Cajun post a few pictures but if anyone has anymore please post them for me...thanks.
