Sadly my panel was not originally with this radiator setup so I am not sure what the PO had done. The top mount wasn't even with my truck as someone made a sheet metal holder. I am not sure if there was different tank sizes or not. The top one I have fits okay but the rubber is fairly hard and doesn't quite let it sit all the way down. Where it bolts to the top of the core support, it's about a 1/2" up, so I am going to make a spacer. The lower saddles are not original to this truck and not sure if they are correct for this but they were big enough that the lower tank fit with a little room.

If you were swapping an original like kind for like kind, it would likely fit well.
