Build you a little crossmember out of 1x2 tubing with flat 1/8or1/4 x2x3 flanges on the end.Make it overall just fit the inside width of your framrails.Use the factory rubber mounts.You will only have to drill one hole for the saddle to pop into and make one hole to fit the round mount into.Clamp it into place and test fit till you get it where you want it with the radiator.Then make a sheet metal plate to hold the rad. at the top simular to factory.When it all fits like you want drill holes in the end flange and tap for 3/8 bolts into the framerails.Simple,works great and is easily removed and installed.
