Fender bolts 55-59 Chevy pick up?

The fender bolts on a 1955-1959 Chevy pickup truck vary depending on the location on the fender and whether they're attaching the fender to the body or the inner fender to the body. There isn't one single size or type. You'll likely find a mix of sizes and styles.

To determine the correct bolts, you need to:

* Locate the specific bolts you need: Identify the exact location on the fender where the bolt is located.

* Measure the existing bolts: If you still have some original bolts, measure their length, diameter (thread size), and head type (e.g., Phillips, slotted, hex).

* Consult a parts catalog: Use a parts catalog specific to 1955-1959 Chevy pickups (e.g., a reproduction parts catalog from a supplier like Classic Parts of America, NPD, or others). These catalogs will show diagrams and list the correct fasteners for each location.

* Visit a restoration parts supplier: Take the existing bolts (or detailed measurements and photos) to a supplier specializing in classic Chevy truck parts. They can help you identify and acquire the correct replacements.

Simply stating "fender bolts" is too general for accurate identification. You need to be specific about the location and ideally have examples to compare.
