Radiator support question
 

Question
is the radiator support straight on top or does it have a bow or curve towards motor?
thanks

I never noticed a bow on mine. How bad is it and can you post a pic with a straight flat iron or similar on it?

The Rad core support sets the geometry of the entire front house and must be arrow straight.

Both of mine are straight. If it's in otherwise good shape, yours can be easily straightened out by using a couple of pieces of pieces of wood and putting some weight on the center of it. That's how I straightened the bow on my tailgate.

I used a couple of pieces of 2X4 but in your case you can use 1X4 pieces. I placed the pieces on each end and a larger board on the center to use as a ramp then slowly inched the truck up the board. I kept checking it carefully until I saw it was straight (you may have to go slightly beyond straight because it has a tendency to spring back).
