Would somebody have an original 1946 Chev or GMC pickup.I would need the distance between the Radiator Support and the Cab.Also if possible the height of the Radiator Support in relation to the Cab.I am trying to set up and fabricate my rad support and it's proving to be a challenge.This is for a project that I bought and the previous owner had already discarded the frame.Thanks.

If that does not help, PM me and I will get you all the measurements you want. I will make you a drawing if necessary, I had to make one for one of my trucks and will have to make another. Dave

Hi homer 52 I can’t PM because i am new here. I checked wayne67vert’s drawings but don’t have what I need. If you could get the distance from firewall to rad support and tell me were you mesured that would be great. Thanks.
I will get whatever you need, I just put my 41 away for the season and when I go to my shop I can get everything you need. I am going to try to send you a pm..

By the way, I have an original 41 and a 46/7 on an s10 so I can get one the other or both.

The distance should be the same on either truck. I am using a 1981 z28 front clip and custom built frame for the rest going to the back with a 4 link rear with air bags.
If anyone else is reading this thread, the measurement we are talking about are very different between the GMC and Chevy. Hood divider is different and fender extensions are different and the radiator support also, they are not interchangeable.. Dave
