Dose anyone know what these are for. I want to take mine off so I can fit an extra electric fan in there.

Re: cross bars on raditor support
I believe they are for general support to keep it square. you could cut them, but I would weld a ring in the center large enough to clear the fan motor after you cut the center of the bars if that makes sense, but it would probably be fine without.

Re: cross bars on raditor support
Of the trucks I have/have had, only a couple still had those braces. IMO they really aren't necessary unless you are really working the truck hard with a lot of twisting of the frame.

Re: cross bars on raditor support
I pulled those off my truck a couple years ago and have suffered no effects I am aware of.
