Thanks. I got the idea from 68shortstep. On yours, could you not series the water thru it from your heater core lines?

Re: Tommys66 Build

i thought about that but if I use the heater box from the 08 sub it has a water shut off for the heater so it would slow the flow for the cooler

If I can remember to look at mine I'll let you know. Of course I have forgotton what color my truck is, since I haven't seen it in a long time. :lol:

I did find this on post #1434 in my build Joe231 said this

the low pressure fitting was smaller than the high pressure side.

Good Idea, only if I had a complete donor truck.

Re: Tommys66 Build

I do take advantage of that.. I had to find away to get the vents in and use the dash data switch.. so i went with that.

I seen some cracks in the paint on the roof skin, so I investigated with a grinder and this is what I found!

I had a good roof skin on my parts truck, so I clipped the cab to get the top down to a good working level. I sandblasted the roofskin and primed, then I removed It from the old cab section. I measured 1 1/2" all the way around on my good cab and cut the skin off of it. The donor roof skin fit down on the good cab really well. Looked like a couple of mouse condos in the void between the inner and outer skins! I will use 3M metal bond to glue the skin on.

took a couple days, but wasnt too bad. I replaced it cause I didnt want this area comming back to haunt me. Being that its the roof it catches all the weather.
