New Rad Support

OK, so I ordered the 64 Rad support from Dennis Carpenter yesterday, recovered from the heart attack on the shipping cost and now I'm ready to start.

I removed the fender brackets from the original support. Any tips on mounting the old braces to the new support to make sure fenders hang correctly or is it just trial and error?

I just measured from a couple different points, you'll also have to cut down the gusset coming off the radiator bracket, about 2'' if I remember correctly, good luck with it.

Thanks. Forgot to add that the entire front clip is off and back from media blasting, so I'm starting from scratch as there is no front end on the truck at all.

How bad is the original core support ??? If you could post a few pics I may be interested in taking it off your hands depending on condition.
