Does anybody know what hole diameter is supposed on the frame for the radiator support mounts?

From this thread, one guys says 1.25" and one guy says 1.375". If that's not good enough for you, I'll measure mine when I get home tonight, my frame is stripped at the moment with no rust at the radiator support holes. I do however need to try the washer splice trick for my front cab mounts as they are in poor shape.

I need the exact the size. I found a welder that will refab mine with 12 gauge steel for $100 at my house from his service truck.

Hey, just measured mine, and they are 1 3/8" (1.375) diameter. And the frame thickness is .135", which is 10 gauge in sheet metal. FYI. Hope that helps.
