My question is if there is a difference between radiator core supports thru the years? My frame has a step, where the front motor mount is about 3" higher than the radiator mount, I have a friends truck I compared it to, and his is almost level. When I bought the truck there was a chunk of I-Beam filling this 3" gap. Is there a taller radiator core support on some trucks? The picture might do a better job of explaining.
The truck is supposed to be a 51 Chevy 3100 long bed. It had a 54 bed on it when I got it.
