Core rad support frame - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can some one tell me the distance between core rad support and frame? This will help in initially lining things up and possibly if I have rubber supports backwards as I wasn't paying attention again when I pulled it apart.

Hey K, after looking at yours I believe there are two different setups...if you are going to the 67-68 front end. Check the two setups here...

Mounts

You can see the 60-68 is a different setup...and they have it pictured upside down (at least that is how mine was when I took it apart).

I put an orange line where the rad support will go, and the blue line is where the frame would be. And then on mine, those triangular pieces on the bottom were bent up so the nut could not spin off. Not sure if that was someones personal touch or if that is the way they came. I would guess that is the way its suppose to be.

As a side note, the LMC mag I have shows the setup you have...so I am not sure if it will work with that one or not...? Maybe someone else can chime in.

There is a difference in 67,68 and 69-72. The 67,68 have a smaller hole in the frame mount piece and use the mounts with the triangle shaped piece. The LMC catalog is not correct, as they show one mount for all years. Sorry, but mine is all apart right now, so I can't provide the distance between core and mount.

Thats what I thought. Does my diagram with the colored lines look correct?

Mine is all apart as well!

The flat one goes between the core support and frame and the shoulder on it goes down in the hole in the frame mount. The cone shaped one goes on the bottom small end down.

You have them reversed....

I agree you have the rubbers reversed!
