4/6 1/2 ton front sheet metal question? (Radiator)

[egarage]

I'm getting ready to install front end sheet metal but first thing is radiator and support and can some one tell me what the distance from fire wall and radiator support at the V bar attaching points.

Pretty sure theres only on bolt hole for these v supports, really no need for measuring unless you don't have these parts? Explain a little more of what your trying to do,

I'm going to install the fenders and not sure if I should assemble both fenders, grill etc. then install on truck or install grill and then fenders

On the fire wall end of the v support which is threaded with a nut on the engine side and another nut on the interior side of the fire wall. My question is there a measurement from the radiator to the fire wall that I should use or should I just make the radiator vertical and then tighten up the nuts or is there a different way of getting the radiator in the right position.

Just measured mine. Measurement from the drivers side firewall, "dumb end" at firewall to center of bolt at v-brace at radiator support measures 31" 7/8.

Well I guess it would help if I told you what kind of truck I have and it is a 46 chevy 1/2 ton pu. 68panelman I guess your 31 7/8" measurement must be for another truck. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'v haven't had much time to work on my truck and that is why I haven't responded to you until now.
