86 C10 stepside fender front brace mounting

[joecal]

My truck was missing a few of the rear fender braces. I bought some but I'm trying to figure out where the top hole mounts, it's the front brace closest to the cab. I know the lower part mounts to the fender but I'm not sure where the top mounts. Any help is appreciated. I hope they're made correctly. I noticed they were made in Taiwan, so I'm not sure about a correct fit.
Thanks

Not sure this will totally help?

Only hint I can give is it goes onto the bolt that holds the fenders to the bedsides. The rods won't go to any bolt but one due to length so bolt to fender then find the bolt it is closest to reaching

At the front of the wheel well you see a hole on the bottom. That's where 1 end goes. The other goes up to the ledge in front of the tire. There is 2 holes it goes to the inside hole. Can take a picture of mine if that's not explanation enough. It braces the bottom of the rear of the front portion of the bed side. Sorry a tongue twister.

Sorry didn't realize that's a step side mines a fleet side.

That's a big help, the picture gives me a good idea of where it should go. It looks like it mounts to the rail piece for the floor boards. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. Thanks for the replies to both of you, I really appreciate it.
