I appreciate the come back. It just seemed to me that simply squeezing the radiator and grill together with whatever amount of pressure the rubber seal would give may not be enough to keep everything stationary. I must confess I was a bit sacrilegious in regards to my treatment of a true B42. I used all the B42 cab metal and fastened it to an International 4700 LPX chassis with a T444E engine and Allison auto transmission. Of course just about everything is modified to make fit. It is still not finished, but maybe I can get one of my kids to take a photo of the present state and attach one, or so. I am not too computer savvy. Dave

Am assembling a 1954 B42 after many years of the parts being refurbished and stored. Forgot the order of the grill, radiator, rubber seal as they are mounted to the support. It seems to me that the rubber goes next to the support, then the radiator, then the grill. If that is correct can anyone tell me if there is enough torque when the special bolts squeeze all four parts together to keep everything stationary, or is there another part I am missing? Dave

I have a 1954 Model B 42 that I have been working on over the past 10 years (way more off than on). I am at the point where I want to mount the Radiator onto the radiator support along with the grill and rubber seal. It has been so long ago since I took it apart I forgot where the rubber seal goes. It doesn't seem right that the rubber goes onto the support first, and then the radiator on top of the rubber, then the grill against the radiator brackets, then the special mounting bolts with the large shoulder pinching everything together. To have the grill and radiator be supported by the compression of the rubber seal seems to me to not be enough pressure to hold them from sliding some. Can anyone tell me if I am figuring it out correctly and if there is really enough pressure with the compressed rubber to hold everything in place??? D
