Re: 1947 Panel Truck Frame swap with ’88 k2500

Thanks for the feedback olcarguy, I was hoping someone would comment on the flare. I prefer to use good tools, but from what I read and saw the flaring tools seem to be similar until you get to the $100s prices.

Gregski, I chose the cheepo flare tool because it didn’t have wing nuts, so easier to crank down. Thanks for the tip though! That core support was a bit of a shock to me when I first saw it they were making the welds look nice. The builder had been good about working with me each step of the way, but decided to just go with this. I tried to find a radiator solution that would work, but in the end the core support was reworked around the radiator.
