I wanted to do something different with the top radiator hose. I used a polished stainless steel pipe bent at a 45 and cut the ends of the rubber radiator hose. Then I used Billet Specialities hose clamp ends.

Hey Cal, did you do anything to get the 10" wheels in the back to fit?

Nothing other then getting the back space right. I have a set of wheels that I didn't get it right the first time. When I measured for the back space I didn't include the lip width the complete wheel width with the lip was 11 inches and learned when the manufactures measure the go from the inside of the wheel bead. And since the wheel were custom made they would not take them back so now I have a set of 20x10 wheels I need to sell.

I just found out my old truck is going to be on the t-shirt for a local car show! Six months since I sold it and I'm starting to miss.
