before you ask the truck was previously driven on a farm and atleast 6 people have learned to drive in it has been laid over on both sides and ran into countless cattle and at least 1 tractor. it had a lot of tough love.

Hmmm, your truck has been worked over from all sides, tweaked, and its hard enough to "massage" those replacement parts into placre anyway,... why dont you take it back to the wrecking yard , explain the situation, and ask for a credit on your next purchase. I mean, an inch and a half..........

A radiator support from a '73-'79 truck will fit just fine, you'll just have to drill one hole for the hood latch. These are a lot easier to find in rust-free condition. They're slightly different cosmetically, but I doubt anyone would ever notice...or care.
