I've been patching up my rear fenders, and want to do a trial fit before painting. I'd like to know the diameter of the bolts that are used to mount the rear fenders to the bed sides. I imagine that it's either 3/8 or 5/16, but I'd like to know for sure before going forward. THANKS

Mike - Rear fender bolts for your 1953 3100 are 5/16"-18 x 5/8" long (originally clutch head driver bolts) like these from Classic Parts.

PS - I've moved your thread to the Paint & Body Shop as that's where the topic belongs. wink

Available in stainless as a kit, not sure where I bought my set but they look great on the 46
