Well based upon the picture that Randy posted for me, and looking at the rust/wear patterns on the shims and rubber spacers, I think I finally figured out the order everthing goes in for my radiator cradle. I had taken this apart a couple years ago and when I pulled the cradle off the frame the shims and spacers fell on the ground so I didnt know what order they went into.
Now the big question is do I replace the rubber spacers with new ones or just clean everything up and put it back together to maintain the original spacing. The top rubber spacer appears to have a steel core, or over time it has pressed itself into the spacer. When I took everything apart all the hood, fenders, and door gaps were perfect. So I dont want to upset the applecart if I dont have to.
Anyway here is the pic of the washer/spacer/shim order.
