35 - 36 Ford Pickup Front Fender Hole Question

[nelsb01]

There are lower fender brackets. The main front fender bracket is the large bracket in which the headlights are attached. There is a lower one.
The picture is not the greatest, but it shows the lower fender bracket where it mounts to the inner fender and frame.
The bracket then uses carriage bolts to attach this bracket to the lip of the front fender.
