how to install 68 grill inserts?

Ok I finally got my Grill inserts back from paint, The originals have been
miss-placed and I bought these from a member on the board. The originals were removed 30 years ago when my dad first took the truck apart and I have no idea how to install them.
Do the chrome trim pieces just hold them in or is there some other fasteners I need to help hold them in? I see one bolt in the center to the grill support.
Does anyone know what size that center bolt is so I can get a couple on my way home today?
The truck is getting very close to being finished ok 100% drivable they are never finished! lol I want to get those blinkers in!
thanks for the help
Chad

LMC has a decent exploded view to give you an idea.



or you can look at it on their site.

it is pretty straight forward once you see how the trim clips go on.

Re: how to install 68 grill inserts?

I already looked there and they do not even show the grill inserts. Thanks for trying to help. I think there new grill assembly has the grill inserts built right in. The inserts go in the original grill like a kind of louver or deflector and the bottom insert lets you mount the blinker lights. The LMC diagram doesn't show the inserts or how they could be possibly mounted. I already looked them up.
Anyone else that actually has had them off that can tell me if they need extra fasteners or if the chrome trim rings (part #5) are the only thing that hold them in place?
Thanks

Re: how to install 68 grill inserts?

I just took mine apart last night 3 rivets per insert total of 6. I circled the general area of the rivets.
