I am replacing the radiator support on my 66 C-10, should I paint it before I install it or is the paint on it from the manufacturer sufficient? My concern is there enough paint on it to prevent rust.

Take a shop rag with some lacquer thinner on it and see if it will take off the factory paint.. If it comes off on the rag, I'd say you need something better to seal the support.

I've never seen a panel like that come through with a finish coat on it. If it was me I'd scuff it up with some scotch brite or 320 paper, clean it good then hit with 1 or 2 coats of epoxy primer. Then paint it what ever color its supposed to be.
