Re: What did you do to your truck today!
New aluminum radiator arrived today. Installation due to happen tomorrow. It is a three-row with some interesting welding. Hoping for the best for under $200 plus shipping. It surely can't leak as fast as my brass radiator that someone shot with a small caliber rifle for some unknown reason.

If you had to do it again, would you get the same one? I've tried all the tricks, but mine still runs a little on the warm side at times. I might need to look into a bigger radiator

Nice job. I really like the looks of those lights on the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
CLRd the truck and came to the realization that it.ll be cheaper to replace hood, fenders, and a door than pay hours of labor. HA time to get widewhites!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed the outside and inside heater box. New heater core. Bought the coolant outlet neck and 180* thermostat. Have still got to find a radiator Will install the neck and thermostat tomorrow. I'll remember the camera and post pics tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Champion off of E-Slay.
I think it was $200 or $250 with 2-12" electric fans. I bought the relay and sensor separately, if I remember correctly. Like, about $50. Not running yet, so I have no real good info on it's cooling ability. I think it looks good. I had to use a big top clamp on the driver's side and a small top clamp on the pssgr's. I don't know why. A little trimming to fit just right...No big deal. Could have been my radiator core support. I don't even know what year it is...I think a 71. Or, maybe moving to a 3-row. Oops! pardon the middle pic. I was just sourcing the hose positions. Also, you can see the rad. came with a built-in tranny cooler.

Checked all the tire pressures and found the fronts low so I added 5lbs to them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Drove her for the first time in a couple of years. OK it was only a few yards around my back yard so I could get her into the right place to finally fit my camper shell (forgot to take any pictures as I had so much to do) Shell fits really nice which is a relief as it was an ebay buy. I just need to finish sorting out the top tailgate for it and refit it. I'm going to post up a seperate post though as I encountered a problem when driving her.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
My son, twin 17 year old grandsons and I worked on my '67 swb stepper and one of my grandson's lwb '71.
On my '67 swb stepper we mounted the master cylinder, hooked up the brake lines and bleed the system. Now my truck has disc brakes. We tried to put on a power booster but had the wrong bracket. Installed a front sway bar. Cut one coil off front springs. Replaced a bad outer tie-rod. Put new shocks on the front. On my grandson's '71 lwb the frame and front suspenion was cleaned and painted. I missed working on my truck last Sunday because I had minor surgery the day before.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Cut out the rusted front cab support and floor pan. Watching ebfabman's cab repair DVD's again tonight to pickup on a few other tips/tricks. I seem to get more from them after I have been out there working in specific areas.
Thanks,
