Another couple of (dumb) questions

[fireguyfire]

So I’m continuing to put the front of my 1940 1/2 ton back together, and I have another couple of questions.

The reasons I have these questions is that on my truck some parts had been stripped years ago, including the radiator and the 2 firewall to nose support rods.

I’ve sourced a set of rods, as well as a set of hood prop rods.

My questions are;

1) it’s obvious where the firewall to nose support rods go on the firewall, but can someone confirm where they bolt to the nose/grille section?

 

2) and can someone show me where the hood prop rods should go?

Early trucks likely have two little ears on top of the radiator and the support rods go under those and bolt through them to the grill.

Ah; what does a guy do if he’s got an aftermarket aluminum rad with no tabs?

Can someone post up a photo of where the rods bolt onto the nose (rad)?

Maybe if I see that I can fab something up that will work to tie the front to the firewall again.

You just ignore the radiator part and bolt to the grill anyway. If you can't see the holes they might be under the hood lacing. I'll see if I can snap a pic later. I'm pretty sure I don't have that one already
