4) Any tips on locating the new core support? Of course I took no measurements here either!
Thanks for your help!

Hope this helps. You chassis is looking good!
1- I did on my black truck.
2 - No, I use it as is.
3- Yes, you can buy them though I am cutting up a truck mud flap for the pads.
4- install cab on frame square. Loosely attach front fenders, inner fenders and radiator support in front of cab with radiator support on a support (bottle jack with board, or hanging from a cherry picker) and adjust up down sideways for alignment. Tighten attachment bolts as you get closer to where the radiator support needs to be. Build a crossmember under the radiator support. Be sure to include fore and aft adjustment.
Probably a better way out there....just my thoughts.
