Re: My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "

Took a few hours of work but...I figured out a good way to mount the new radiator to the 62, the 62 does not have a radiator mounting x member like the 63-66 have so I got a bit creative, made some brackets and used some rubber isolators from a jap car in the junk yard, I am pretty sure it was a 90s Nissan Maxima, then made some plates and riveted them to the radiator, still need to mount the top but I think I will use one center mount to teh hood latch striker plate bolts, top hose is going to work which was a 1992 GTA trans am...lower is stock 62 but will not work...off to the parts house with my exhaust preheater hose bent to fit and see if I can find anything that will work, if not I will get some stainless mandrel bent tubing and tig them together to form the bends and use two short hoses on each end
