Re: 71 K20 Idaho Edition
Wrapped a few more items so this can be started again and move in and out of the garage. Again went backward on a few items taking off, adjusting, and re-installing. The new radiator finally showed up and got that mounted fairly easy. Noticed that it had provisions for the transmission cooler which I don't need so I used one of my screw and bolt tools to identify the size of the plug thread and pitch. Went ahead and mounted it with freshly sandblasted radiator hold-downs. Will need to pull them off when painting the inner fenders since they are all getting the same semi-gloss.
Last item before I try to fire this up will be mounting the old tired exhaust system I pulled off. Will need it on there to drive down to local muffler shop and get the new installed.
