Now onto the radiator............The one that came with the truck was not original (which didn't bother me) but had alot of the coolinf fins crushed in and looked real nasty inside the filler neck when you removed the cap. Soooo of course you get into a case of the "might as wells". So a phone call and $300 later UPS shows up with a shiny new (supposedly 1946 correct), Champion Radiator. I was somewhat suprised and happy when the dam thing fell right into place in the bracket and all 6 holes line up perfectly with no filling or hackig what so ever. Then everything went to Hell in a hand basket.
Once I got the unit bolted into the truck the first thing I had trouble with was the radiator cap decide it wanted to occupy the same space as the bracket running from the firewall to the rad support.

as you can see I can't get the bolts to tighten down the support bracket to the top of the rad housing.
