The frame is a '49, everything else is from a '50 3100. Here's a pic of the core support: http://i.imgur.com/9WyJOl4.jpgDoes this support accommodate both the center mount and the side mounts? The frame only has the center holes and I am wondering which supports to buy. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 164 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 164 | If the cross member that supports the radiator support matches i would by the center one. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 367 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 367 | This was my mistake. The frame is a '49 3100 but the core support is from a '50 3600.
The mount, as pictured, is in pretty bad shape and both bolts are rusted to/in it.
Is there any harm in using the two side holes and drilling these holes in the cross member? Seems like a much beefier and sturdy alternative. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 367 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 367 | | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | Fix and use the one you have.

Those spacers are used to adjust the sheet metal for a good fit. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 367 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 367 | Got it. I didn't know the other had perches. | | |
