Got my radiator in today very happen with the fitment. Mounted a brake booster on the firewall but decided I will probably replace that with a frame mounted unit to clean up the look of the firewall. Replaced the door pins and got the hinges all sorted out for the most part. Also got the other step and cab corner in today.

Worked on an updated ventilation system, not to mention Fred Flintstone brakes, for my cab! :lol:

Also good for real time engine, steering and brake system monitoring. No need to mess with pesky heater cores either. AC can be a problem however....
