Hey guys, I need one complete side, at the least 6, of the shims that go between the core support mount and the radiator core to shim up the body lines. My brown truck was missing an entire set. I believe I actually need the entire mount set since I ended up cutting one in half to get the bolt out and free up the core from the frame.
Please if anyone has a nice set I'll pay for them. An entire core mount set, both sides would also be great if someone has a set and wants to part with both.

I found some really big honkin' fender washers, about2.5- 3" around and 1/8" thick each at Ace hardware that did the trick for that, with a couple of thinner ones to level it out in between .

I'm pretty sure you can get them in the help section at a good jobber...probably one that sells automotive paint.

I used washers for mine like was mentioned above.

I still have the set from the core support I pulled and sold. It only has 3 shims, but you could add washers if needed. It would also need new rubber bushings.
