This should help. I have the valance off my 65 right right now. One photo shows the back of the quarter and hole the valance mounts to. I have that part painted black right now so I lightened the photo a lot to make the hole show up. Another picture shows how the special bolt goes through the bracket. The third pictureshows the mounting bolts I got from NPD in the rear valance mounting kit. The bolt goes thorugh the bracket and then into the inside of the rear quarter. The washer and nut go on the inside of the quarter. They are not great pictures as I took them pretty quickly tonight for you. If you need better just let me know.

I'll take some pictures tomorrow evening with a tape measure on it. I'll show you the placement from the bottom and the side and the size of the hole. I won't be able to do it until about 8 or 9 PM central time.
