Fender mounting

[Blue_Streak]

I've finally started to put my 1967 truck back together for pre-paint fit and fitment and I came upon a bit of a problem. When installing the fenders to the rad support , there are 3 mounting holes. Without thinking I just assumed that they would be the same "c-clips" that are used on the top of the fender. However, now that I have gotten in to it, I see that because there is a small flange on the rad support edge , I can't use the c-clips. It looks like I can fit a c-clip on the bottom hole though.

What fasteners get used to hold the other two holes? A simple bolt and nut just doesn't seem right.

Thanks in advance

I'm can't picture it . Is it just a square hole?
If so those had a nut swedged into the hole, or a cage nut.

If these don't sound right post a pic.

No. Its an oval hole. Someone directed me to the schematics and diagrams section and it looks like it it really is just a bolt and nut. I appreciate your input. Thank you

Maybe the clip is on the fender and the bolt comes from behind the rad support ?

I would have to know the exact position of the fasteners in question, but I think there are special clips which are wider at the folded end. I cannot access my parts trucks for reference for a couple more weeks, still too muddy out there, but will look closer when I can.

I had a look at my '67 yesterday, the top 3 bolts, threaded downward, go into a type of cage nut, or threaded insert, which is welded into the rad support. The 3 on the flange of the support, have the threads going towards the grille, heads accessed from the wheel opening, as such, the clip goes on the flat surface, not the one with a lip. The lowest one has a nut and bolt. Hope I am looking at the part in question, I was unable to get a decent picture, too dark.
