The thing about the repo world is they never check accuracy and or fitment of parts they makeThey just grab something off an old truck and send it to China . So if they grabbed a set of large shoulder bolts and ship them off this is what happens . I think you have the correct small hole hinges (pickup) . I think the bolts , especially the larger ones are for a big truck. Like a say. If it warms up a little I will check some of my trucks to verify. Good luck with you truck. I raced motorcyles in Hoskins many moons ago. Good times .
That would make sense. I don't need to have the hood on any time really soon so if I have to wait for a different set of hood bolts in ok with that.

How long ago did they race motorcycles in Hoskins? I raced stock cars out at Riviera from 97 through 07. The good days when somehow I had more money and time lol.
