1938 truck radiator baffles

Trying to get the front parts together and after looking it seems as though the previous owner cut the radiator baffles off at the top. I got this truck as basically parts. Does anyone have any pictures of these parts. I am thinking not worth trying to make the ends and weld on. I looked on Ebay and didn't see any listed. Does anyone make these still? Does anyone have a set they would sell? I assume these are very integral to getting the radiator/grill hood spacing and angle to get all the parts to adjust up.

Thats a fracture point on most. You are not missig much. There is 2 bolt holes on the piece thats missing. When they come up foe sale they are usually broken in that area and need repairs. Check your other parts and see if they are still bolted to the bracket

These are the best pictures I could find. In the one where it is not obvious it is furthest left.

I looked and they are not attached to anything else. The previous owner had installed a 318 dodge engine in it and a different radiator so he had done lots of "modifications".
