Default rear braces

i wonder if someone can help me ? my friends installed my rear bumper and have extra parts left over . i had to replace my fuel tank due to no fuel pump left . it rusted away . i have searched all over for a diagram of how the braces go back on . there is no info in the assembly manual . i also would like to know where all the various fasteners go . THANKS .

get a FSM for that yr. Very good detail on the body.

Braces go to the rear quarters low to hold the lower wheel well behind the tire. Lots of hardware for lites, trim moulding etc.

yep....you need a FSM and at least one friend that can read.
