Re: Radiator filler panel kits

The AC condenser brackets are in the way. I could probably just snip a slot in them at those locations. Wouldn't work any worse that the ones with the space-age holes. I think it would take a hole where the receiver/dryer is, too. This truck had heating problems for years, even before I owned it. It now has a Cold Case radiator, 19" fan (that was one real issue- the AC truck is supposed to be 19", when I got it, it was 18" and didn't couple with the shroud). The fan is still only an inch or so from the radiator. I also made my own shroud. All that and a high flow thermostat and severe duty fan clutch cured it. It runs mostly less than 180º (that's the temp thermostat I'm using) and at 180º in hot weather. Now I can fix the AC clutch and use the AC.
