rowdav Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31293-b42-radiatorgrill-mount/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 you are correct,rubber goes between radiator and support. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31293-b42-radiatorgrill-mount/#findComment-184845 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdav Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31293-b42-radiatorgrill-mount/#findComment-184905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 yup. horse collar, then rubber strips, radiator then shutters. some of the older ones 53-58 or so had a rubber strip across the top of the shutters to that set against the radiator tank.
