Inner/Outer Fenders
All: Just a quick question to confirm my recollection re attaching inner & outer fenders.
The 5/16-18 J-nuts go on the inner fenders with the nut facing the tires, and the outer fenders go over top and attach with 5/16-18 bolts with "toothed", loose washers above the thread just under the bolt head, correct?
Any close-up photos that were posted would be a great help.
I did take pics while dismantling, but not detailed enough, darn, isn't 20/20 hindsight great!
Thx. Jeff

Jeff:
The fasteners go exactly as you stated. There's a photo here, but you can barely make out the bolt heads. These fasteners (or very similar) are available new from Auveco. If you need the part numbers let me know.

Way more detail than I ever anticipated it taking! But, when I look at the photo above, I'm reminded of how far I've come. The bed, fenders, hood in paint right now and the rest is going together slowly. I'll send you some photos when I'm home...thanks!

I don't have any J-nuts between inner (apron) and outer fender. The bolts pass through outer, then inner and a washer and nut on the back side, but no J-Nut in those locations.
Illustration Section 160 Page 1 shows the detail. Definitely separate nut from below in the pics. Same as all 3 of my trucks here and all I've taken apart, too.

I apologize....mis-spoke! Chad is right, both trucks (65,66) I disassembled had the 5/16 bolts with a captive washer, but had flat washers and nuts on the underside. I'm pretty sure they were locknuts, as the replacements I bagged are "stover" (crimp lock) nuts. That's what I get for relying on my memory...and the reason why I bag all the original hardware. Hope I didn't screw you up, Jeff....sorry! The J-nuts are used on the grill and probably a few other areas....I guess that's why I bought a box.

TA455HO, resonateur, Thx again for the help & clarification in attaching the aprons & fenders.
TA, I' should have checked the exploded view diagram before throwing my question into the chat. I'll do that now.
Resonateur, no problem with the earlier advice, as my project in slo-mo, so I cogitate on each step before plunging in. I had not done any re-assembly on the fenders, just circling around cleaning bolts and getting ready.
Eric, thx, I think I'm good for fasteners,but would like to visit to see your F100 just before plunging in.
Thx guys, Jeff
