need help with Hood Hinges

Hello Fellows, I'm hoping someone would be kind enough to help.


I'm just starting to hang the front sheet metal on my 56 and I am missing some parts as I bought this truck as a body of BIG parts and very few little odds and sods!


Long story short I just received my stock hood hinges this week and am not sure why the bolt holes on the cab are so large (approx. 1/2") the hinge studs are only 5/16 and this looks like I need special washers?


Also I'm not sure but I would believe that aligning all this metal will require more than just fastening it and I am missing some more parts like the alignment rods and brackets.


Any help or possibly diagrams on these parts would be greatly appreciated, I have tried searching but I must be referring to the wrong parts, or wrong terminology.


Thank you in advance for any help.


Angelo

Here is a picture that might help you out, it's hard to see much detail though.
