hah! It's true, I finally got the truck up and running. I had an absolute mad dash on it for a few weeks trying to get everything done. The RND radiator I bought unfortunately had a really bad leak in it, they're trying to blame me for it for using radiator zip ties without the rubber backing even though the leak is 6 inches away from where I used them. Ended up getting a griffin and tapping my water pump for the steam port. Had a leak in just about every fluid line you could think of. My rear lights weren't getting any power so that was a fun time to fix, but all in all - it drives. Still having cooling issues where the radiator isn't getting the full flow. The passenger side is ice cold and the driver side is boiling hot blowing steam out of the overflow. Not sure if the radiator baffle is broken (same side inlet and outlet) or if I have an air pocket or if my water pump is **** but I'll figure it out. Haven't had time to finish putting the hood on (need to weld the brackets onto it) or do the bed floor.... or even bolt in the bench seat or clean up anything. I had a deadline for last Thursday and justtt barely made it.
Had the exhaust done with 2.5" and flowmaster 10s. Sounds great.
Trailerd it down to Maryland for a weekend car show with my buddies. Got to drag my frame down the costal highway which felt like a million bucks after all the hard work I put into it.
Some exhaust clips.
