Also, an original V8 truck radiator was mounted about 4" aft of the 6 cylinder radiator location and there was a panel to cover the gap between the hood latch panel and the radiator.
That would be true for the 55-57 trucks, but he has a 59. Both the 58 and 59's had the radiator in the 6-cylinder position and used a shroud for the V8's.
