The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Installing bottom hoses in an aftermarket radiator

The previous owner upgraded my is radiator on my '39 pikupp. The radiator is mounted 2 " closer to the engine. It looks like the turn down on the upper pipes is too much and there wasn't enough upper hose length, He shortened the radiator mounting rods as well. To install the bottom hoses(one has a heater hose mount in it) Do I need to remove the radiator/remove the bottom mounting bolts? Are there longer hoses?
