Do you have pictures or can tell me the differences between GMC and Chevy radiator mounts?

Sorry inquiring about a 1957 in specific. I have a 1957 gmc frame and a 1957 chevy body.

I know 55,2nd & 56 GMC has the rad support as a crossmember & is different than the Chevrolet which is two small brakets on either end of the frame rail.
Not quite sure if the 57 GMC is like mine?
Here is mine;

Here is my 59, same as 57 except frame rails are 3" longer (crossmembers, spring perches and rad mount are the same). I circled where the radiator mounts. you could probably find or fab some mounts in the same location.
