You need to state what year your truck is to get accurate info. "It's just a phase. He'll grow out of it."

They mount differently. 1960-62 radiator 1963-66 radiator One is 23½" wide and has flanges where it bolts to the radiator support. The other is 25¼" wide and sits in a U shaped support. There is no way they will mount to the same support. Like I said, year model does make a difference. "It's just a phase. He'll grow out of it."
