Both fender support brackets are finished and bolted in place.
The angle iron crossbar is also mounted in-between the two fender support brackets.
There is a piece of steel angled down from the center of the cross bar.
This is to support the bottom of the hood latch.
The top front edge of the hood latch is bolted to the upper lip on the sheet metal for the grille opening.
The underside of the crossbar has a bunch of holes drilled in it so air is not blocked on any part of the radiator.
A formed sheet metal panel fits over the crossbar and fastens down to the front sheet metal to make sure that all the air that passes thru the grille goes thru the radiator.
This panel will not be bolted down until after the radiator is mounted in place.
I set the radiator in place to check the clearance and it looks good.
The radiator mounting brackets are on the engine side instead of on the grille side so I made up two angle support brackets to fasten to them.
These have a bolt welded to the top mounting hole to make it easier to set the radiator in place without having to try and hold the radiator up while I try to get a bolt threaded in place.
The rest of the mounting holes have nuts welded to them so the mounting bolts can be thread in.
These angle brackets bolt to the back side of the radiator brackets and will then be welded to the fender support brackets in the truck.
It looks like I'm going to be able to use the stock Dodge radiator fan shroud.
The radiator fastens in place with two of the mounting bolts on each side and then the shroud is fastened on with the other two mounting bolts.
