Are you talking about the bolts that mount the hinge assembly to the firewall / dash panel? They are 5/16" - 24 x 3/4" - 2 per side:

Hood bolts

Actually talking about the bolts on the side hinges. I must of had a moment of clarity in the past because I left the bolts in the hood so I got the hood hinges installed today !

Brought the truck home from final paint today. took pics and will post later. Love the color, now need to decide on whether to go with two tone paint scheme. 90% sure I'll go with black fenders. May need photo shop help; thinking about tan colored wheels.

Thanks for the picture post RB48F6 , I now know how to re-install the spring hinges !

Later

Tom

I have more pics of the hinges from different angles if needed. I'm documenting my disassembly - so I can figure out how to put it back together. Looking forward to seeing pics of your truck.

Neat concept

Documenting for re-assembly; never thought of that ! That's why I rely on forum. Thanks !
