"Install the lower firewall brackets such that nuts are on the driver's side of both brackets."

This is true for '55 second series trucks. Maybe a '58 owner can confirm that this is true or false for a '58. Sorry, no picture. My truck is apart.

Re: inter fenders

not good pictures of either bracket, you can see them both, yes they both go the same way, not mirrored
not sure what you welded up, most of the bolts holes are slotted for adjustment purposes
you may have a problem lining up fenders and door gaps

Re: inter fenders

What Ogre said, just about everything has to be loosely bolted so you can get the door and hood gaps right and body accent horizontal line to line up with the door line. I had to add shims between the radiator brace and inner fenders/fenders to get the hood gap right and square. Firewall brackets go the same way not mirrored too.
