Coolant Recovery/Overflow Tank
Added this to my 72. I have done these in various sizes/shapes on my other hobby cars more to pass Tech at the strip. My C10 typically won't see that use but may for giggles on a Bracket day.
Instead of leaving radiator a few inches low, can top off now and like a more modern cooling system the expanded coolant flows into tank and is pulled back when engine cools. My location seemed to be where it fit the best and was close to height of radiator cap This is Dorman 603-001. $10 on Amazon |

Re: Coolant Recovery/Overflow Tank
Looks good, I like where you have it mounted. I will be needing to add an expansion tank to my '67 and was trying to think of place to put it. Mounting my tank where you have it looks like a very good solution.

Re: Coolant Recovery/Overflow Tank
Another option I considered was using a 75 Nova tank that goes inside the PS fender next to battery, but my charcoal canister is there.
I did it on my 67 Camaro so if your PS fender is not occupied with something else this may fit. It's a OER and I got it at Summit for about $40 IIRC But the Dorman I used is much cheaper and does the same function. Just used 2 sheet metal screws to attach it and a spacer on the one screw shown in original post |
