Measurement needed

[FormerMember]

Need a measurement:

Middle of the radiator support to the tip of the front frame horn.

Mine is cut and I am building a winch bumper.

While I was out measuring cab mount washers for twotrucks I threw a tape on the front frame horns of the 70 and it looks like 8 3/4" from the center of the core support mount holes to the end of the frame horns...

You don't say what truck & I see you have c/k 30's and a K5. This is on my 70 c/10.

Hey LockDoc, mine must be different. From the tip of the frame horn to the center of core support mount measures 9 1/2"

Mine doesn't have a core support in it so the measurement is to the center of the mount holes. I will try and check one of the other trucks. Thanks.

This is for the C/K that doesn't really match anything... however, I have a welder, plasma and a bunch of metal. I can make it anything I want. I just want the bumper to clear the grill/winch.

thanks to both of you... reputation added.

OK I'm glad you posted on this. I went back out and re-measured and it is 8 3/4" (changed first post). When you get to be my age it's a challenge to remember how to "get" from the shop to the house, let alone remember a measurement that far....

I also have a '70 GMC without a front bumper on it so I measured it and it measured right at 9". It almost takes two people and two small squares to get an accurate measurement on it. Maybe this will help him though.
