The rubbers go between the rad support and frame only
You get extra rubber to make height adjustments for the front sheet metal tweeking.
You probably want to start with 1 rubber pad and temporary bolt until you have the front metal all looking good
Then when it’s all nice and perfect
Drop in the radiator
The rad will have clearance to go in and out with all sheet metal in place
I’ve done it many times, it can clear the open hood
If you have the heavy duty radiator option and a fan shroud it will be particularly challenging
The fan shroud must be loose over the water pump with no fan to slide in the radiator
The you carefully put the fan on
Then you move the shroud into place and bolt it and the radiator in place
Not sure how the factory did this step the correct way but I suspect it was not how i do it because the workers would have walked out on strike having to do it my way

Note: the 2 lower rad mount bolts to frame are some of the very few fine thread grade 8 bolts with self locking nuts used on the truck, these bolts cannot be torqued tight because of the rubber pads, so the nuts have to be castellated locking type, many old trucks in the junk yard still have very reusable bolts and nuts for originality purposes
