The vertical bars we moved outward to make the space needed. I made 2 brackets for the bottom that held the factory rubber pads. You can see them in the first picture at the bottom corner of the radiator. The upper brackets were made by modifying the 1990 radiator brackets to bolt to the top of the 1960 radiator support. These modified brackets also hold the 1990 rubber pads. I also welded the radiator cover to these brackets. This hides the top of the radiator and gives you a nice tool shelf. The radiator cover is bent down and back to make a mount for the electric fan. So, the radiator is still only supported by the rubber pads from the donor truck.
