NH WTB - Lower Radiator Retainer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**ohboy321** · 04-08-2019, 06:33 PM

I am looking for 2 lower radiator retainers. These would be the 3.5" size for the standard/smaller sized radiators.
Here is a picture of an upper for size comparison.

Just went to check one I had. It’s only 3.5” and no cooling options listed on the spid.

Thanks for looking, and with the info you just gave me I realize now that what I show in my picture is NOT what I need. I looked things over this morning and my upper retainers are 3.5" and are the correct size for my radiator. The lowers (and picture) I have are the wrong and I now need 2 of the 3.5" retainers. I will update my original post.

Well I may have what you need then. You need the metal or just the rubbers? I thought the metal part was made to the core support

**ohboy321** · 04-09-2019, 05:37 PM

I am looking for 2 of the metal lower retainers for now, and will pick up 4 new cushions later. My lower retainers were not attached to the support when I lifted the radiator out, but with the threaded studs on them I think they are supposed to be attached.

I am adding a picture of an upper to show length needed.

Hey Steve,

So far I have only been able to locate 1 bottom piece, the other should be around, just not sure where. I should also have the top pieces, because I had to replace all 4 for the larger ones. I'll let you know if I find them.

Hi Gary, That would be great if you come across the second bottom one. My top ones are the correct size and cleaned up well, so I just need the lower ones. The PO used the wrong size on the bottom...and one of those was rotted out.

I have a pair of lower radiator seat mounts. For the four core radiator if you need them

**CUSTOM/10** · 05-06-2019, 10:09 AM

LMC truck has them for both sizes .

**michael bustamante** · 05-06-2019, 10:58 PM

So it looks like you are needing the two and three row lower radiator seats. I do have those with the rubbers.. I can do$20 shipped

Those lower seats look good, and I will take them for $20 shipped. I will PM shipping info.

Thanks to all who responded. Like a lot of things on this truck, I really didn't know what I needed at first, but once I started looking for parts the feedback helped me zero in on what I really needed.

I do know that reproductions are available, but I prefer to use "cleaned up" OEM parts when I can.
