I would like to box that area in if possible. Seems like crappy design they did in that area. It should have been boxed from the factory instead of a c channel design they did

What's wrong with that? I got one except, I have NO fan clutch, just direct drive like the old days and a single core full aluminum (no plastic at all) radiator. Never exceeds 210.

Also, Gary the bolts provided were 10mmx1.50 and they fit perfect...
I didn't even need to tap the holes, I used the orginal screws to tap the other holes with no threads and the crossmember sat perfect in place...

Photobucket doesn't like you anymore.

Yep, photobucket is pretty much trying to force people using their site to pay after you have 500+ pictures on a 3rd party site...
Not sure how much but looks like I gotta find another free hosting site to use and idk how I'm going to get those pictures back on my build thread most of them have been deleted off my phone...
