And what did I find, very little metal, the whole bottom was like this, no wonder the rad would move with very little effort up and down, I think the lower rad hose was holding it all in.
Well I have to order a new one.
Oh well that will fit well with the new 4 core aluminum radiator, 2 12 inch electric fans, aluminum high flow water pump chrome pulleys, and the ac delete box for the firewall.

Where can I get that rod that goes from the support to the top of the nose of the car?

Let me know when you find it...I broke mine when attempting to tilt the radiator support to de-rust and paint.
