hood hinge bolts
Just discovered new inner fenders hood hinge holes are tapped for 5/16 not 3/8 as original was. Anyone used the 5/16 without problems? Hinge slots are for 3/8, so more slop around the bolts with 5/16. Thinking that massive hood needs the 3/8. Drill 5/16 nut and tap to 3/8 with an added nut on the back for safety?

Re: hood hinge bolts
On the hood proper, this thread shows a pic of the hood bolts post #6 - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=747797
This post is a reference thread post #4 shows the pic - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=603021 I thought the hinges to firewall were 3/8".
