I'm going through my Brother's Trucks channel catching up on the many videos that are available for my '68 C10 longbed. This is another one of those great videos that Dave and the gang at Brother's Trucks have published for us classic truck enthusiasts who want to fix up their old trucks.

Thanks , you got me in the mood to fix her up , nothing to be afraid of

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Excellent! You guys keep us motivated as well. Thanks for watching!

Dave, another good video. Any rubber bushing needs to flex and move, so it last a long time. This is a great opportunity to replace the cabin bushing as well. Just have your favorite penetrating oil pre-soaking the nuts or bolts. (Tech Tip) It does not take long to have 8 or 9 cans of penetrating oil with just a little left, maybe hood for a squirt or dribble. Wear eye protection & gloves, get a refillable spray bottle from the garden center. Now with a BFH and a nice ice pick, poke a hole into the cans bottom edge. Use the little funnel and pour all of the into the squirt bottle and label it. Good for another day! Hope this helps stretch your hard earned dollar, so now you can get parts you need at Brothers! Best to all, be safe, work smart! Retired ASE master tech.

video was very helpful with my 1965 chevy c10 and the replacement of the radiator support bushing

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Excellent!

This will help with my 62 C10 for sure, just about to do body mounts and get it lined up with the bed!

[@robertmarsh5786]

Just the video I been looking for! Thank you

[@tommytt5564]

Another great video. Thanks guys

Put a New support on the sons 66C10 ! The 68 C10s next when time comes !

Well, I purchased the 60-68 mounting kit, I have a 67, and it looks like someone has put a 69-72 kit on it. Looking at other KZbin videos has me thoroughly confused. I guess I’ll go with what I ordered and hopefully it’ll work. The mounting brackets have a rather large hole so who knows? I’ll center it up and tight it down.

Call us if you need help with the install or if it doesn't go well. Good luck!

[@Roadglide911]

BROTHERS Truck Parts it’s going to be a while. Doing a cab off restoration. Thanks. At Least 4 weeks before I put the radiator support on

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Not a problem, call when you are ready!

[@ronaldsteveson76]

Is it necessary to take the cab bolts loose before replacing the core support bushings?

[@larrybush3584]

Why is there such a long bolt for the radiator support? Wouldn't it be better to cut it shorter, in case there's a next time for future replacement?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

The same hardware works for multiple truck applications and there are a couple of them that have thicker bushings and need the long bolt. You could definitely cut it shorter in this particular application.

[@neilteegarden5772]

What type of bandaid do you recommend? I noticed that you had a couple.

[@MarshalG1110]

My carriage bolts are stripped out on top. Spinning when I try to turn the nut below. Any suggestions? Becoming a real pain...

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

At that point we would probably suggest cutting the bolt in half and popping the halves out from each end, then just replace them with new ones.

[@JohnLee-bd6rv]

I have a 62 chevy pick up and just bought a radiator but over looked brackets? Is there a bracket kit of some kind u guys offer for securing the radiator to my truck frame /grill? Thank you !

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

John, that depends on the radiator you bought, many variables there. Most of the radiators we sell, if not all of them, are designed to use the factory mounts and will easily install without modifications. If you have any further questions or need help, please call the our tech guys at 800-977-2767 and we'll help sort it out.

[@deankay4434]

@John Lee - The lower radiator brackets all depend on what you have or will buy. You have to measure the end tanks (If Cross-Flow) and go from there. Dave is right as the radiators the sell for the most part are plug-n-play! Brothers does research on OEM parts and commin upgrade they sell with notes if brackets are required. There are more radiators found online than ants at a 6hr picnic, so call technical with measurements of read the notes. If you purchased something online at the popular websites you may have to modify what you have or fabricate them from home improvement store in 18 gauge to make them as robust as OEM. Measure and draw on paper to take to the phone including room for electric fans if desired. Sounds like a lot but not that hard to cut with hacksaw, bend on vise and drill some holes for rubber supports. Best of luck with you project. It can be rewarding to do it yourself or buy it from Brothers! Cert Auto ASE Master tech-retired.

60-66 or 60-68 the title confused me a bit ?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

The support bushings and hardware are the same from 1960-1968. Dave said 60-66 in the vid, but the title is correct.

[@CKID-dv8tq]

Good to know cuz I might need that when I build my 68 50th anniversary C/20 thanks guys !

[@deankay4434]

The title is one thing, the job is still basically the same! Just know what you have by the VIN to order the correct kits.
