Radiator/grill support panel question.

Are the radiator mounts supposed to be flat or do they have a slight bow to them? I have three of these and they all seem to be slightly bowed or bent. If they are supposed to be dead flat I need to straighten or this will affect how the fenders, both inner and outer mount up. Right? Thanks for your input.

Re: Radiator mounting frame question.

If you are talking about the crossmember that the radiator sits on, yes it is supposed to be straight. So many of they are bent because most people seem to think that is a good place to hook a chain or tow strap when the truck needs help.

Re: Radiator/grill support panel question.

I guess the correct part name would be radiator/grill support panel.

Re: Radiator mounting frame question.

The radiator support is on the left and it is flat. The grill support is on the right and it has a slight bow to the front of the panel.
