Radiator isolators

It has been a very long time since I took the radiator out of this truck I'm working on but are there any isolators on the radiator or does it bolt directly to the radiator support? I looked at an exploded diagram on LMCs site but it doesn't show anything and I don't have any in a zip lock or anything else that indicates that there was something there but common sense tells me there should be.

It's a 79 F150 with 400M.

The radiator bolts directly to the radiator support, there are no insulators.
As Rich shows, the radiator support does have two insulators where it bolts to the frame.

X2 on what mike said, NO isolators or rubber grommets in-between the metal radiator frame and the core support.
