doghouse hardware

It's been a while since I pulled the doghouse ('52 F3) for storage "offsite" while building the chassis...

*Almost* time to put it all back together : what hardware will I need? I'm trying to remember all the attachment points and what bolts/nuts I'll need to buy.

Thanks in advance. ;-)

Thats a pretty wide open question.... But I would stock up on 5/16 and 3/8 bolts (fine and coarse).

Ha! Right?
Doghouse removed as one unit (minus hood). Just trying to remember: two attachment points at each side of cab; the two points at radiator/fender support; and then maybe one on each framerail?
I guess I'll see if I can find an exploded diagram.

If you removed it in one piece, there should be two springs, flat washers and castleated nuts with cotter pins under the radiator. Unless you removed the radiator from the frame, the carriage bolts will still be in the radiator frame. I don't remember the size, either 7/16 or 3/8 fine thread. There will be a 5/16 bolt top and bottom at the firewall for the rear of the inner fender to attach to the edge of the firewall. And three 5/16 fine thread carriage bolts for the running boards to attach to the bottom of each fender.
