    I can't find another 39 to compare to while I'm trying to straighten my front fenders etc. Can someone please tell me what the distance should be from the bottom of the support bolts at the bottom of the radiator to the front of the 'V' on the bottom of the 'chin' below the grill. Everything was crunched and I've got things pretty much straightened out, but I'm not sure how much to 'unbend' the pan at the bottom of the radiator.

  6. Not certain of your needed measurement, but click on the link, then scroll to PAGE 18.

    Thanks there is some information there I may be able to use for other purposes but it doesn't have an answer for my current problem. Here's a diagram of the measurement I need for the distance to the bottom of the grill 'chin'. Distance.jpg

    OK here's maybe an easier way to take a measurement that will help me. This picture is a view of the bottom of the radiator pan showing the measurement Radiator_Pan.jpg from the front lip to the back lip of the pan.
