Tom, It seems as if I never take enough photos. I'll probably never learn to do "it" different. I have attached two photos that might get ya a little closer...
Sorry that's all I can help.

5/16" square for a carriage bolt. Its usually booged up on 40-41 cabs from wear tear and accidents. I have re- enforced it in the past because the square on the carriage bolt is thicker then the sheet metal

^^ Skid is right. Often boogered up, probably some fatigue. It is in the centre of that dimple (as far as I can tell).
Do you have the little brackets? They only go on one way round.

Big truck cabs aren't just missing the hole on the little pad for the upper bracket, but also the three holes along the edge of the cowl as shown in the above photos.

My cab was a virgin and Han no holes one’s either side but the flattener area location is. As Mart said, I drilled a hole dead and the middle by lining up a similarly sized washer. I used some rear fender bedside bolts, flat side out, square portion in the bracket itself, to bolt them in place. I will see how that works out ....
