Yea I had to mess with the shroud and the radiator a bit to get it to stop but its still being temperamental, keeps hitting on the bottom but I cant adjust it down any further, and I cant tighten the radiator support mounts down any further. I went and bought some #10 stainless oval (curved) faced countersunk screws, tonight after work, hopefully they will work out, if they don't grab the hole enough I'll have to use button heads. I cant for the life of me remember what type sheetmetal screw was stock as my sil plates were removed long before I did the repair work.

Having the truck mobile again feels pretty nice! but its still a ways away from a driver.
