salans7 Posted Monday at 09:37 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 09:37 PM Thanks Gary and Bill! I think what Gary has provided will get me where I need to be along with the images I already have. As for rivnuts, I'm too much of a stickler for "factory appearing" to go that route. Plus, I already have the upper clips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salans7 Posted Monday at 11:27 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 11:27 PM I just took a look, and the measurements get me close to where the mounts need to be, but I looked at my photos and realized the measurements weren't going to put them where they needed to be. Also, when I measure starting from 1", I get a different reading than what Gary shows, since he started at the silver end of the tape measure. This may be due to the fact that those jack handle mounts were likely just drilled into a general area and aren't the same on every truck. The A/C condenser holes allow for a little wiggle room, so I am going to build that into my Radiator mounts as well. Worst comes to worse, I can adjust the holes a little once I pick up a radiator for this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salans7 Posted 22 hours ago Author Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) Holes are drilled and clips are installed...for now. Lower brackets are also mocked up, but I'm gonna wait to do anything with those until I have a radiator. I can then make any necessary adjustments to the upper clips as well. The only reason I'm even worried about these measurements is because I'd rather not introduce the fan blades to my 460 fan shroud (they aren't reproduced like the small block ones are). Thanks again for the help! Edited 22 hours ago by salans7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Shaun, I actually have a 1990 front clip on Darth as the previous owner parked by feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Shaun - Can you record the measurements you used? I may need them. But it is looking good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will, but I'm going to head to the junkyard this weekend to see if I got my measurements correct because I don't want to put bad info on here for anybody else. I'm pretty much going off of trial and error since I don't have a spare 85-86 radiator support to compare to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
