The smaller trucks had the radiator hoop cross-braced and mounted in two places to the frame. The fenders etc. bolted to the hoop. By the time I got my one-ton it had long studs and springs with washers and castle nuts holding the front end down to the frame. I don't think they came that way from the factory. I had worked on logging trucks that were set up that way to save the radiators from road shock when hauling out of the woods.
