Re: New Project!
Went with a repop rad support. Got the new radiator installed after a week of looking for a bottom hose. And best of all l got the new motor fired for the 1st time. It was a good day in the barn!

Re: New Project!
Looking good so far.
I'm thinking your wife was right about the name for it (the Money Pit, because they all are) Which radiator setup did you go with? Sub'd.

Re: New Project!
Thanks doc & Kevin. The orange really grew on me after seeing the truck above. I don’t have a chrome grille like that truck does tho. I’ll go with orange or white on that. Not sue yet.

Plug wires are not in their permanent home yet. Just did enough to get the new motor fired and make sure everything was ok. |

Re: New Project!
She's starting to look like a truck again. Finding out that it's pretty rewarding when you get to start bolting things back on. Everything is painted except for the bed and hood. I hope to get all of the paint done before it gets cold.

Re: New Project!
Thanks doc. I like the orange too. This is about the best shot I can get from the inside of my wood shop/mechanic shop/wife’s winter greenhouse.
The gauges are Dakota digital Rtx. |

Re: New Project!
Looks awesome! I'm diggin' the slots! I just finished a 67 GMC with a 5.3 and the RTX gauges, love 'em! Welcome from the KC gang, there's a bunch of great cats here from the Metro. We all get together in September at the All Truck Nats and Eat like kings and drink beer for two days. Hope to see this truck around this year!

Re: New Project!
