58-59 Front Clip Install Sequence??

I took my truck apart 11 years ago and video taped the process. The cam corder puked so I do not have access to viewing the tapes. The factory manual does not cover 58-59 front clips. So, could someone outline the sequence of assembly for me?

I am assuming it is 1) radiator brace, 2) inner panels, 3) fenders, 4) then associated trim that hangs off the radiator brace and between the fenders. 5) Then lock receiver panel over the radiator.

I also assume the fenders can be hung without the inners to check alignment with the cab since I see guys doing it all the time in the threads. I know once its all bolted together it comes off as a unit, that is now I removed it. Should have taken still photos too! Thanks in advance.
