Radiator mounting advice
I'm in the process of restoring a 76 chevy c10 that was originally an inline 6 but has since had a 350 crate motor dropped in. I bought the truck almost 2 years ago in Kentucky and it made the 14 hour journey back to North Carolina without an issue. After returning home from a deployment I have started to tear it apart, suspension was my main focus as well as raising it back up to stock height (it was slammed to the ground).
I recently pulled the radiator and went out and bought a nice 4 row radiator to drop into it. I'm having a few issues though. The radiator I bought is for a chevy c10 with a 350 in it but it's about two inches shorter than the previous radiator and doesn't fill the radiator support area behind the grill. This is also requiring me to do a little bit of custom work to the top support bracket. My only hang up right now is the lower supports for the radiator. I'm thinking of fashioning some 2 inch tall rubber supports that I can bolt into place and then set the radiator on top of that to raise it up. Before I do this, am I missing something? Since the truck was originally an inline 6 do I need to get a different lower support for this radiator? I've looked all over LMC and other various sites but I can't locate what I'm looking for and I also can't find any after market supports that will raise it up. Thanks for any and all help. If pictures are necessary to further explain this let me know. I can run home and take some. -Brandon |
