delco1946 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Body shop needs a radiator support as mine is all rusted along the bottom. Let me know if youre selling, and west coast is certainly better as shipping will be nuts im sure. Thanks. Also curious as to how i know if i need a 29 inch opening or larger (without having my truck to measure)? Catalog makes it sound like the standard is 29 inch?

FuzzFace2 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 From what I seen posted there are 3 different supports, 2 for gas, 1 for diesel. The gas ones are small & large openings. Small for non-AC trucks Large for AC trucks and I pretty sure HD cooling. Now you can go for the larger if yours is small and get a larger radiator and a shroud. The non-AC radiators did not have a shroud but a little fan cover at the top. Now I think it was on the older trucks they all had a large opening and if the truck had a small radiator they used an bolt in filler panel. I guess you could do something like that if you wanted to.

And there you'll find this: You guys are forgetting that the 85-86 trucks had a different radiator mount setup, so those supports are a little different than 80-84.

We shall see..... Also, finally something in my favor. 14.99 to ship - i said you must be mistaken, they wanted hundreds to ship a hood (freight) . Apparently its small enough to go fedex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
