    1958 hood and hood hinge bolts

    Trying to determine the correct bolts to attach the hood hinges to the rad support, the hood to the hinges and the latch plates to the hood.

    Looking at the 58 AIM it calls for "bolt" 3722133 or optionally 3730901 for all 16 locations.

    Looking at the 1960 AIM it calls for "screw and washer assy" 3751841 for the hinge to rad support and hood to hinge. It then calls for "screw" 3783713 for the latch plate to hood. (I just threw this in for reference to show that the AIM calls out different bolts between the two years)

    I've included two pictures of the bolts I have. The one I "think" is correct is the middle one with the shoulder, dimple and "E". The one on the left is the current reproductions with a "C" that the catalogs say apply to all years (not according to the AIM....) and the one on the right is very similar to the "E" bolt but has a larger shoulder and an "L".

    My dilemma, besides which is correct is that I don't have enough of any. I have 10 of the "E", two of the "L" and four of the "C".

    Comments, suggestions?

    Re: 1958 hood and hood hinge bolts

    So I think I may have answered my own question(s)

    Went through some pictures I took of a couple original 58s that were at Kissimmee a couple years back

    These two show dimpled shouldered bolts at all locations

    These two show possibly the "optional" bolts holding the hinge to the rad support and the dimpled shouldered for hinge to hood and latch plate to hood.

    Note: The bolts for the hinge to support I had bagged from when I disassembled the car are not the shouldered type. So it looks like I had the "optional" bolts for the hinge to rad support and the shouldered "E" bolts for hood to hinge (qty 4) and latch plate to hood (qty 6). The qty of bolts I have on hand total 10 of the "E's" and six of the non-shouldered with an "M".

      I checked the originals for my early '59. I get the same bolt arrangement.
