Fender Mounting Help

I'm getting body work done on my pickup and trying to figure out what holes need to stay on the firewall. Any help on this? Do the pictured holes need to stay?

Those are for the hood spring.

Re: Fender Mounting Help

Those little ones below the hood springs are for those little block off plates, that cover a hole between the firewall and the fender. They screw on with sheet metal screws.

Re: Fender Mounting Help

The Red marked ones are for the hood spring mounting. The piece on the upper right in this photo.



The yellow marked ones are for a "filler" panel that has a little foam strip that seals the top of the fender from the engine compartment, it uses sheet metal screws to hold it.



The green marked "holes" are simply poorly done "spot welds" from the factory.

Awesome! Thank you very much for the help. I didn't have the truck long enough before I tore it apart to remember what goes where so it's kinda hard to remember the details.
