Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Softpatch, bought the radiator from tomsclassic on eBay. I made the shroud/fan mounting and bought the 16 electric fan from the local auto parts store.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Ahhh, Softpatch beat me to it. I was going to ask the same thing about where the radiator came from? I like the top tank being a duplicate of the factory one.
Does it cool well? Are you happy with the quality of it?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Radiator is well made and looks good, no ugly welds or seams. I am using a 160 degree thermostat and the temp so far never goes above about 165! Being aluminum you do need to be careful of the fins when installing.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I sold my axle with CPP disk brakes and power steering setup, including the springs, and everything that was part of my front suspension. I had $1k in the upgrades, got $340 for the whole thing and was happy to get it out of my way.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Took my oldest grand son & the pickup to the Greenwood show here in Seattle.
1.5 mile stretch of cars both sides of the street, In years past that works out to 500 + cars. Good times |

Introduced 1 month old grandson to the shop. Body work on the bed inner fenders and blocked the bed sides with 180. Found some minor stuff I did not finish when I primed.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Got the studs out of the exhaust manifolds, cleaned the manifolds up and painted them. Will get studs as soon as I can make it to the parts store.
Measured my drive shaft, now its off to get it shortened !

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Temps are sitting around 100 for the next two weeks, so I am scheduling me time in the early morning to do body work. I know from last year that Rage flashes in about 20 seconds when the temp is above 90!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I finally got my truck sitting back on it's wheels. I still have to rework my brake lines, install the sway bar, and align it before I can drive it but I'm pleased to have it this far along.
