Good morning Bob. I have found that if you do hinges and pins or bolts that you need offset hinges for the pins to clear the frame. It is easier to use a couple of pieces of angle iron as a bed frame and drill a couple holes for bolts before welding in for alignment. If you are installing by yourself a floor jack and longer than needed bolts will get it started then shorter bolts for final install. It can get tricky with pins trying to align by yourself especially with new rubber supports. It does help to loosen the 4 top plate bolts in frame but leave installed.

I pulled the radiator out of our first 78 11 years ago by removing the radiator in it's framework. That was a job. Can the radiator frame be cut with a small air cut off grinder. And not damage the radiator tanks? Then put some pull pin hinges in a the cut for install? Bob Dunahugh
