59 rad support?

Hi Guys,

just pulled out the 59’s radiator and noticed there was no rubber support underneath the bottom tank. The 56’s has a support that located into the two slots in pic below, wondering if the 57-60 models didn’t have any support or rubber underneath and are just held up by the side brackets on the radiator?

I have worked on a '59 and '60 and they both were only supported by the side flanges.

Mine has two bolts each side of the radiator holding it to the radiator support. No rubber in the mounting.

1957/60 F100/600 & B500/600 (School Bus) use the same radiator support.
