NY WTB lower Radiator Retainers 4core

[gmc 2500 4x4]

i need a pair of nice lower radiator retainers for the 4 core setup, not sure fitment years but its for my 69 gmc. thanx, paul

[Ironhorse]

Can't help with a pair as only have one, driver's side with good rubber cushion. Passenger (battery) side was rusted out badly. Can do pics if interested, $8 shipped for the single I have. Maybe someone else has a single to make a pair for you? LMK if any interest.

Pics please pm sent

Lower radiator support mount. Hard to show detail of black items. Some rust pitting beneath cushion as usual but cleaned up well with bead blast, prime and paint. $8 shipped, don't have Paypal, money order or $$. Thanks,

How long is the retainer

[Ironhorse]

Metal retainer measures 4 3/16'' outside edge to outside edge. I know it to be a true 4 row lower radiator mount, NOT for the smaller 2 or 3 row radiators. LMK, thanks.

I'm at work. I want to measure before I commit. Sounds like I have shorter ones. I let u no in a few hours

[Ironhorse]

That measurement is just the lower retainer or saddle the radiator mounts into sitting on the rubber cushion. The upper mounts are different with the same type of retainer or mount spot welded to the upper mount. Measure your saddle or retainer mounts you have now. Are you swapping over to a larger 4 row radiator?

[gmc 2500 4x4]

this is where im at now, upper retainers sit bout an inch high for some reason. but the radiator hasnt been tightened down yet. got me worried. uppers fit top of rad fine.

[Ironhorse]

Paul, are you working with a true GM 67-72 truck radiator or is it possibly an aftermarket replacement? Do the tank ridges line up with the bracket mount spacing correctly? The second pic looks to be the 4 row uppers. What do the brackets measure from front to back? What do your lower retainers or mounts look like now? " If " you are changing from a 2 or 3 row radiator and up-grading to a 4 row the lower radiator support channel needs a "relief" cut on the rear ward (engine side ) edge of the support channel. I had to do that to mine when I swapped from a 3 row to a 4 row as the 4 row lower mount hit against the channel. Not a BIG cut but just a small one to let the retainer set flat against the lower support channel. I fastened my lowers in with a couple sheet metal screws and then the rubber cushion, no problemo after doing that. Also, are you using new rubber cushions that have not been subjected to many years of being tightened? Hope this all helps, good luck.

Paul- I have a pair of NOS lower retainers and rubbers. I will send pics tonight or in the AM. Don't know if new rubbers would make it sit even higher? Is the lower radiator seating deep enough in the rubbers and are they hard as a brick? Like Ironhorse stated about the size of the radiator, measure the old one to see if same. It should have 1/2 to 3/4 clearance to insure adequate pressure on the radiator at all times. If it laid flat and no pressure it would be loose when the rubber conforms and settles! Thanks, Dan

hey dan, i read some other folks had this delema, and im sure it just needs to be tightened down, rad measurements are correct. what is yur price? i have gm rubbers if you separate...paul

Paul- I would like to sell as a package 2 lower radiator supports and 4 upper and lower rubbers, all NOS w/o packages. If someone wants the 4 rubbers and you the steel supports, we can split the package. $110 shipped for all $45 steels and $65 rubbers. Here are some pics of the steels! LMK, Thanks, Dan
