What are the correct bolts across the top that hold the grille to the frame? Also the 4 bolts that attach the frame to the fenders. Pictures up close with head markings would be great.

I know you are probably looking for OEM, but I went to Lowes and picked up some body bolts.  I can't recall the size, but they come one to a pack.  They are similar in size to the two pack body bolts that are M6-1.00 x 25, but without the rounded tip and have a wide washer beneath the head of the bolt.  I'll snap a pic and post it later tonight.  Hope that helps.  

Here is a link to the two pack bolts.  I couldn't find the single one.  it looks like the yellow zinc colored bolt, but the one I bought was black.

Yeah I have all oem the original bolts and screws replated. I just don't know what exact bolts go where. Just to clarify, the screws that attach with the grill spacers, theres 5 across the top. Then the 4 corners to the top plate that connect to the inner fenders on top.
Thanks

The ones that go across the grille into the plastic washers should be pointy.  I don't know what the other four look like because I didnt have the original ones.

They look like fender bolts just smaller.

My car is a 68 built in jan. I have screws with 3/8 head with freespinning washers with "anchor" head markings. Same screws with "AF" headmarkings from a concouse grill kit. Also there was 5/16 head screws across the bottom I know for sure. These are the same ones used with washers and nuts for attaching the grille sections together.  My problem is I gathered bolts and screws from another car to. Too many screws and bolts.
The four corner bolts I also have "anchor" head or "Ln" or "LG" markings to choose from.
Somebody's gotta have a car that hasn't had the grille taken apart yet!
