Re: My 52 GMC Build

So I have been working on improving the cooling of the motor over the past year. It never overheats just runs hotter than I like on the highway, due to the inter cooler blocking half the rad. I had made big improvements by blocking off gaps around the rad. So this round I cut out 4, 3" holes through the front cross member and sleeved them with pipe. Also cut down the angle iron that holds the bottom of the inter cooler. I figure I just gained 3" of unrestricted air to the rad.
