56 1/2 ton body on 80 SWB frame radiator options

I was wondering what you guys that are setting your 55 to 59 1/2 ton bodies on 73 & up 1/2 ton frames are using for a radiator. I am using the original inner fenders and rad support and have fabricated mounts from the rad support to chassis. I would like to keep the rad on the original rear side of the rad support if at all possible.

The problem as many of you will no doubt know is the front frame crossmember - the one the brake proportioning/residual valve sits on - sits right under the stock radiator location and will not allow the stock radiator to drop down low enough to bolt in.

Any help and pictures would be great. I have just spent an hour or so searching and looking at pictures and will search some more but thought I would ask also.

Thanks in advance.
