56 Radiator support bracket size
Over the last 20 years of building my truck I somehow lost the brackets that mount on the frame, so my front end is sitting loose. Can someone give me details on size so I can figure out how to fab them? or better yet, tell me where I can find 2

Re: 56 Radiator support bracket size
Let me look I may have some from a truck I chopped the front rails off of.
What year truck, it makes a difference? |

Dave, that would be a '56 he's looking for.

Re: 56 Radiator support bracket size
55-56 are different than 58-59. Not sure on 57 but the ones I think I have are 57. I'll look in the morning.

Re: 56 Radiator support bracket size
if you lost them when you put a new front clip on the truck
anything with a 1/2'' hole will work; angle iron, channel iron, etc...

Re: 56 Radiator support bracket size
The top level of the bracket is .220" higher than the top level of the frame from the x-member back.
