Guitplayer, thanks for the reply. If you note the photos, the engine is already in the truck. I have the hoses, and I have already test fit them. This is a total restoration and there aren’t any body parts attached yet, and add to that I am not the one that disassembled the truck so I don’t know if the height of the radiator affects anything that bolts on the front end. I realize that the radiator support frame does require shims where it attaches to the frame at the bottom as the fenders affect the placement of the radiator frame height. My problem is further compounded by the fact that the owner threw out the original radiator, which of course would of answered my question about the placement.
