Looking for some info on the lower radiator mountings on my K10. My truck is missing them and has been since I picked her up. I am working on getting her road worthy. The diagrams and images on google haven't been especially helpful.

Thanks in advance!

It has roughly 3" gap between radiator support and the top of the radiator. I have a 3 of the rubber spacers (one from this truck and 2 from an 84' K20). They look fairly similar. I am trying to figure out what is missing in that 3" gap.

Do you have them on the bottom as well? If I remember correctly, there's 2. One is under each tank lip.

There was a tall radiator and a short radiator. Sounds like a short one is where a tall one used to be. You can install the proper upper panel to match the shorter radiator.
