Radiator Mount Assembly - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When putting the new radiator mounts in, are the square washers supposed to go on top (or inside) of the rad support or on the bottom of the rad support? They were on top before but this truck has been apart in the past by the PO.

Thanks!

I saw that picture in LMC also, still left me scratching my head a bit...

The way I'm seeing it is everything above that spacer / sleeve is on top everything else below.

I believe the square should go on top since there is no hex head on top of the bolt it should prevent the bolt from spinning when tightening

I think that is correct, since the hole in the core support came round from the factory from what I have seen.

On top of core support.

Check out Bruce88's build thread, post #446 - excellent reference for the body mounts

Thanks! I was trying to find that thread before. Got the cab mounts on today, just waiting on the core support to come back from the sandblaster/powdercoating to mount that up

Just did this myself, square washers sit on the top side of the core support (visible when looking down) with the carriage bolts through them.
