Thanks,

I used nyloc nuts on the bolts as you are not supposed to put more than 5 lbs torque on the nut (IIRC). I had to add 1/4" of shims (in addition to rubber pad) to get the hood and fender fitment the best I could. I made the shims from aluminum flat bar stock.

Mine were almost worn in half from the radiator support moving around before I purchased the truck. I think the originals were fine thread and used a castle nut and cotter pin. | | |
