My recollection is that the mounting bolts are drilled from the top rather than in accordance with traditional fender mountings found on the wheel wells of steel-bodied cars. We have a '29 Mail Truck but we stopped our restoration when we discovered that our truck has an overall height somewhere around 7'2" once the uprights are installed - at the time we only had a seven foot tall garage door. Nonetheless, I seem to remember that the bolts are drilled through the wooden wheel liner. To the extent that I can, I will be glad to assist in any way possible from here. Good luck going forward.
