I'm ready to install the hood on my 53 3100. I don't have the original bolts to attach the hinges to both the cab and the hood. Does anyone know what size they are? Would like to get them locally if possible. Thanks.

The hinge to hood bolts are special design. I think Jim Carter or maybe American Classic Truck Parts has reasonably priced bolt sets.

For temporary, the bolts are 5/16" available from any hardware store. Your hood will not operate properly without the correct bolts though.
