I have two big totes full of parts left over from my 52
I looked at the fender this morning and there's two sets of threaded holes. One set is 5/16 - 24 national fine and the others are 7/16 - 20 national fine.
I also remember the hood division strip mount up by the firewall is a national fine also.

Looks awesome!
And if we are playing show and tell,
Maybe fabo needs a pilothouse thread…
I don't know what you have for stores where you live but Ag stores here sell hardware by the pound. I would use grade 5 unless you don't like the color. (usually blue) Those fasteners will work fine if you are not restoring the truck. A few different sizes, different lengths, and some flat washers and lock washers to match.
King, i don't know if you have changed your rear differential but i put a 89 jeep Cherokee rear under my 54 Town Panel project and it fit perfectly.
I used a 8-3/8 from a mid 80’s dodge 1/2 ton. Moves wheels out, but it looks less like a roller skate now. 3.55 gears with 265’s it spins at 2500 rpms at 60 mph.

I made cab mounts and used a 86 step side frame and bed has 8 3/4 rear and will accept big blocks. Fine threads are correct and 54 through 56 very much the same
i actually do have a spare hood. also have another whole front clip.
About 4 hours away.
Derrick,
I'd be interested in what kind of adaptations you had to do to get the wheelbase and body to line up.
Any pictures of the frame?
Maybe i need to PM you.
