My 52 1ton Had a 261 put in in some former life and to shoe horn it in the shade tree guy,s just took a hacksaw to the rad support crossbar.
Don,t take off the hood
Can see it now(thrown over shoulder)thats out of the way.
Hacksaw and tinsnips and water pump pliers(channelocks for you youngins)to gouge rip and destroy the upper and lower radiator valances.
Then we drop the Rad back in INSIDE the rad support channels,and whittle 2 wedges and drive them in to hold the rad.
No bolts,just the 2 hoses.
Right front foward spring pin must have departed this life sometime in the Eisenhower Administration,so we,ll just slam in a 3/8-16 Galvanized carriage bolt and then peen over the threads for safety.
At one time there was a heater as evidenced by the existance of the blower ring and 3 screws on the firewall.
Musta leaked,Rip that out then patch over the blower motor and hose holes with about a third of The FLOORMAT,and a few screws.
We dont need no Stinkin Heater.
Mind you that this was a Killington Vt. area truck
Just getting warmed up.
