What is correct OEM hood (hinge) mounting hardware for 68-69 B-Body?

What is the correct OEM hood (hinge) mounting hardware / bolts for 68-69 B-Body? Pictures would be greatly appreciated!

So I have tore down a '69 'X and a now recently my '68 'X front end. I am organizing all the hardware for a correct OEM reassembly and I can't Identify what is correct regarding the hood hinges! Grrrr, I am ****! I have several different data points, but don't trust any of them because nothing jives....I suspect because of years of hood removals and reinstalls.

Help much appreciated
thanks

I have heard that one of the hood hinge bolts has a larger washer & the picture shows that the lower rear bolt in fact does have a larger washer.

It's hard to tell it almost looks like the rear lower bolt has the same size washer? SCGT3 can you confirm? thx

Are the bolts that hold the hinge to the hood the same 5/16 NC garden variety used on much of the front fenders?

Apparently, it's the top rear bolt that has the larger washer. See post #12 here....

And yes, I would say that the other two bolts are the same as fender attachment bolts.

Yes! thanks for the links and the help. So digging around,....I'm on board that "mostly" the hinge to fender bolts are the garden variety with the exception of the upper rear bolt which has the larger 1-1/8" dia washer. That happens to be the same bolt near as I can tell as the trunk lid to hinge bolt.
