Radiator Flaps

I have a 79 F-250 and just wondered if there are supposed to be 1 or 2 pair of radiator flaps or heat shields? I see there are holes in the center and wondered if another set goes there. I have one set in the corners. Thanks

Put them all the way across. They won't hurt anything. I use rubber conveyor belt material for mine.

There is a local rubber supply house that has that type of thing. You should be able to find a local supplier near you in any larger city. They usually have scraps available. Check with your yellow pages under conveyor belts.
