Re: 1972 GMC 2500 6.2 Diesel

I installed the radiator yesterday. I took the opportunity to degrease, pressure wash, and repaint the electric fans, rad support, trans cooler etc.

I was thinking of spray bombing the grill again - the chrome is showing through - but ultimately decided to think about it. The PO made this choice and I have to assume that he did so because the chrome was in bad shape, but it isn't something I would have done. I am going to hunt around for a nicer grill for sure. I also have a 1967 grill which would look fine black since it was painted and never chrome, but my understanding is that I would have to change out a few other things to make it fit in a 72. So it stays as is for now.

It seems as though I will be driving the truck this week if it is warm enough, looking forward to that!
