I went to autozone and oreilley today and neither could find any for me. The guy at oreiily said he just uses bolts through from the fan clutch.. :banghead:

Howdy from Ohio!

There are usually stud kits in the Help!/Dorman area. Also, many hardware stores like Ace stock hardened automotive type studs. They should be 3/8", fine thread from what I recall. Or maybe 5/16"... I'm having a brain fart right now.

What part of Illinois? A member here @Kim Burke told me about a great radiator shop in the Danville area, but I've never been there yet.

Central, we've got a good one over in Springfield too, a-z radiator. They worked on radiators when I was a kid, took a radiator from my old 64 massey to them a few years ago after I drove a stake through it. They told me next time use the bucket instead of the radiator.. i agreed. I'm taking this radiator I found in the bed to them next week, they'll get it right.

Welcome! Maybe bring them a box of donuts, those shops aren’t as easy to come by as they used to be.

Nice truck!
