i made my own! it wasnt that hard at all, i just drilled a hole into the rad support, and then put some bolts through the holes and then put them through an S like bracket that i made, and then i have a piece of angle aluminum on the side of that that holds the S bracket to the rad support and then to the rad..... this sounds really confusing, but i dont know how to explain it..... its kinda like an S but the angles are right angles and then the bolt goes through one side and the rad gets clamped in on the other side....... i dunno if this is gonna be any help, but i dont know how to explain it without drawing it! i have a pic of my rad in there, but i dont have any pics of the mounting sys that i made..... go check it out on my cardomain site..... www.cardomain.com/id/trucky350

well i got the pics off there to try and explain them..... in this one, you can see the angle aluminum along side the rad that helps hold it side to side, the other S bracket is under this aluminum and then follows it up the angle and then there is a tab that bends over behind the radiator so that it holds it in......

this pic shows the bolts from the front that hold the S brackets to the rad support they are on the left and right of the rad hole.....

i made a shroud that holds my radiator in place, reused the factory rubber mounts over the ends of the radiator and screwed the shroud right to the core support. Theres a picture of it in my pics.
