RE: radiator support?
its best to not replace it behind the shock towers, if its hit that hard you might to look for another body, to replace a firewall forward that also includes the frame rails, that is major work to do that much work, have a frame shop straighten the towers and replace them from that point forward with a nice clean unit instead of a pieced together new one , what ever year model you get make sure to get the shocks and all as the 90 ups mount different then the 89 back , just did that .......................... put a older on a newer
