Radiator Support Bracket Mount

One of the lingering tasks on the truck has been the location and drilling of the radiator support bracket bolts.  The "original" bracket that was on the truck when purchased was home made to accommodate low profile radiator for the tilt forward front end.  As such, there were no "factory" holes drilled in the custom chassis for the factory radiator support bracket.  The alignment and double checking of measurements during this process were as tedious as when drilling the new holes in the cab for the front fenders.  It took much longer than it should have...

Radiator removed for access.
 Center bolts installed in frame crossmember.
 Its not a party unless somebody breaks a drill bit!
Holes drilled and bolts installed.  The bracket feels pretty solid now.  It will get stiffer once all of the body panels are fully bolted and torqued.
