Brothers Truck Parts. You can get one that is paintable, or chrome.

So no one makes the cover that goes between the rad support and the grill ?

Something else that I didn't know I needed .... great! LOL

Saw one on classicparts but it has a note that seems important, **Won't clear the receiver drier on factory A/C trucks.**. I guess that is the can thingy that is on the left side? While I am not stock A/C anymore that can thingy is still in that area.

Re: Can't find radiator cover
 
got mine here, and it clears the drier. Give them a call. It is the brand that LMC sells. Satisfied with the product and service as well. They don't sell the radiator cover though. I have aftermarket air, with the drier in the normal spot.

Not the best. But good considering my photo taking ability

I got mine from Brothers 10-12 years ago. They had Undercover Innovations stickers on them.

Rich72C10 04-17-2021 12:20 PM

Re: Can't find radiator cover
 
interesting - there is a cut out from the AC - is that what I am seeing on the left? The other ones I have seen do not have that cut out.

thanks for the photos!

Re: Can't find radiator cover
 
Richard, Give them a call. I found out after I got mine w/o the cut out that they were available. As a matter of fact, I think it was a post on the page that brought it to my attention. They are good to work with. The filler panels are aluminum. But I got the radiator cover from LMC and it is steel. Had my mechanic install them when he changed out the motor for me. After discovering that they were available with the cut out on the left one. I was able to purchase just the left one from Undercover Innovations.

Thanks for the info! When I looked into these years ago the vendor told me all I had to do was “push down the drier lines and they will bend enough to clear the cover” :crazy: Needless to say I never ordered one.

Re: Can't find radiator cover
 
Got the new LMC catalog. They still don’t show a core support filler for a/c trucks. Which is why I contacted Undercover Innovations.

Check out VanNatta Fab, they have nice rad covers and core support fillers. I think they look better than the others I've seen.

Re: Can't find radiator cover
 
Smitty, what AC System did you install? I have Vintage Air and was wondering if the cut out for the drier would work.
