Sounds like we're close. I'm getting ready to install my radiator as well.

Thanks Effie!!! This is what I needed! I didn't get as far as I'd like to yesterday but will make it today and get the "Horse shoe" installed today.

BTW, I'm sure you a little farther ahead of me, my cab is still sitting on a trailer getting ready for paint removal. That will be the winter project. I'm just trying to get the frame all done by winter so when the cab is done next spring I can mount it and start working on fenders and the hood. A LONG WAY TO GO!!!!
