I have the same radiator in my truck i used flat bar on short pieces of pipe and welded the flat bar on the bottom to the pipe and the radiator sits over the flat bar in the grove on the bottom and top of radiator. On the top i used a piece of angle with a short piece of flat bar welded to it and it sits in top grove and bolted it to another bar on the top of grill shell. I'm not saying this is the right way to do it. Its wedged in between the two flat bars . Its working on mine so far. I have little over 4000 miles on it with out problem other than the electric fan. These are the only pics i can find of it when building it i will try and remember to take a couple tomorrow for you

Jeez burnout I wish I had thought of that, I could've shortened my wheelbase about 6". Good idea.
