Greetings FABO

Is there any sort of resource to find out what bolts go where and what size bolts/ and or screws are needed specifically for front fender and grill assembly on a 1970 A Body?? I looked through the service and parts manual online but didn't see anything. Thanks in advance all!!!
 
There are some companies that sell bolt kits, that's where I would start.

If you have a buddy with a survivor that will be a great reference well

There are no bolts to hold the grille. 4 screws hold the headlight rims . The grille sets into the lower grille support which is held in place to the fenders by four 1/4 20 bolts and to the hood latch support by two more
The hood latch support is held to the lower radiator support by 2 more 1/4 20 bolts. Then there is the upper grille support Held to the fenders by two 1/4 20 bolts and to the hood latch by two 1/4 20 bolts. That is 12 1/4 20 bolts with built on washers .

The grille sets in the lower grille support on 5 plastic support stands and clipped to the top by 4 plastic push clips. The upper grille support is installed after the grille is installed and slips under the grille
Here are some pictures.

I have not used them.

I install a thin washer with lube then the hood hinge and then another washer and the mark the correct depth to drill a hole. Secure them with a Cotter pin. They stay flush and are much smoother when operating them. If you drill the hole with clearance you can add more washers before the cotter pin to keep them tighter.
