Now that this is done you can move onto notching the radiator support for hinge clearance. I came in 1" on both sides and removed the peice of the radiator suport all the way down to the corner triangle brace. Then I welded a piece of 8" long by 3/4" square tube to the top of the corner brace and tight to the outer fender as shown in pic1. Then pic2 shows a side shot of how the hinge will look when mounted. Pic3 shows a top view. Placement of the hinge is very important front to back. You will need to trim off part of the front and back of your top radiator mounts. This will not affect strength but will not allow for a stock shroud to bolt to it. Pic4 shows how close the hinge tube get to the inside of the mount and pic5 shows the out side. What you will want to do is clamp the hinge set up in the truck or use self tapping screws to hold it in place and try it out. You will find the right spot for it to be mounted also in pic2 you can see the placement.
