but it gives some idea of the difficulty of fitting front sheetmetal around the radiator location of a modern frame. Radiator and engine both have to go back to get the fenders over the wheels.
With a flat deck you get some options about putting the radiator behind the cab to buy some length in the engine bay.
Which, as previously stated, I refuse to put something this beautiful of 100lbs of copper. Thanks for all the opinions!
