I've done the opposite. Got the truck running and skipped all the body work
I notice your radiator has the exact problem mine did. I had a shop cut the piece out, flip it around and weld it back in. Worked a charm to have the bottom hose outlet pointing outward.
Maybe we should all write to speedway and ask them to either make the bottom outlet straight or point slightly outward haha. I wonder how many of these 19x22 rads have been modified.
