Anyone have a Radiator Support cover?
Was cleaning my truck yesterday and standing there looking under the hood lost in my stuper when I had a question pop into my head
 Anyone have a cover on their radiator support? I dont know the best way to describe it....it's the flat piece of sheetmetal that bolts to your radiator support and usually secures the top of your radiator. The top of my radiator just looks like something is missing to me...?? Oh well just wondering.

Nice! I like the looks of this one...more factory looking than the stainless ones. Hmmm think my neighbor's 69 Impala one would fit?
