Rear fender bolts 1948-52

Can someone please tell me how many bolts are used to attach the rear fenders to the bed sides.

I am using a bed from a 53 (holes filled because they did not match the fenders) and fiber glass rear fenders (did not come pre drilled).

If someone could give me the number of bolts and spacing or even direct me to a photo that clearly shows the location of the bolts, it would be much appreciated.

Nick

Looks like I jumped the gun a little. Found my LMC catalog and have determined that there is a total of 12 bolts per side and I will figure out the spacing.

Northern Classic Trucks has the weld-in-studs, just like OEM for 50 cents each. Grind the head off and they fall on out.

The underside of the flat head has three dots in a triangle pattern. Put the bolt in the hole, and zap it - the three dots weld themselves to the bedside and you're set!
