ABSTRACT:
An easily adjustable lower radiator mount for a cab-over-engine truck, for adjusting the clearance between the radiator and a tunnel through the tilt cab. The mount lies behind a front bumper. The radiator bottom member has a pair of vertical, upwardly extending blind threaded openings, while the truck frame has a cross member below the bottom member provided with a wide, internally threaded opening in line with each blind opening. A threaded stud extends up from below the cross member, through each wide opening, and is threaded into each blind opening. A tubular adjusting member, is threaded into the wide threaded opening and has a flange extending out radially from its upper end; it also has a lower externally keyed portion, in which a lug nut is internally keyed. The lug nut has a keyed exterior for engagement by a wrench. Upper spacing means bears against the radiator bottom member and surrounds the stud, while lower spacing means bears against a locking nut at the lower end of the stud. A resilient portion of the upper spacing means lies axially between the flange and the radiator, and a similar resilient portion of the lower spacing means lies axially between and bears against the lug nut and the locking nut.
