Shields next to radiator top
Saw this thread a while back and found it very helpful. The more I thought about it, another question came into my mind.
I know these shields are held in place by the upper rad horshoe to inner fender bolt. The bottom of each shield has a step or indent that suggests that the shield should fit over some other panel. Mine has nothing there and the shields appear to be pinched in place by the top forward corner of the inner fenders. This causes my shields to sit crooked or chanted to one side.
Is this normal or am I missing something?
Your help is appreciated.
Sorry, but I can't figure out why my photos are either sideways or upside down. Must be because I am using my phone.
Thanks
Dan

You can see the folded piece at the bottom edge of the part. Mine aren't knotched on both edges, so they wouldn't work at 90 Degrees.
Here are some pics of mine. I believe the tab that is on the bottom of the piece should be bent back at 90 degrees, like the ones pezsox shows in his photos, to fill between the radiator and radiator frame. Mine are folded up and back on to the back side. You can see it in one of my photos. I did not bend them that way, that was the way I took them off of my truck.

Thanks for the photos. Thanks to all that replied.
I now know what needs to be done to make my shields fit correctly. I may have strengthened the bottom of the shields a long time ago not realizing that they were bent that way on purpose.
Thanks again.
I can always count on answers to my questions from my fellow members here on FTE.
