Hipper · 04-01-2010, 05:55 AM

mounted new front rims and tires on the dually, now I have tubles all the way around. Have been working on the 9 year olds MG so all my extra time is going to that.

*lakeroadster* · 04-03-2010, 06:07 PM

Finished updating my grille: Stainless grille bars and chrome headlight Bezels.

Here are the before and after shots. More details on the grille in my build thread.

SCOTI · 04-03-2010, 07:11 PM

Nice improvement. Looks really custom while also looking almost stock.

heymoe · 04-03-2010, 10:17 PM

I smoothed my firewall and fixed minor holes in the floor. I also installed my sway bar and ram style exhaust manifolds.

Care to share info on the radiator?

SCOTI · 04-04-2010, 02:21 AM

I started correcting the weak link on my home-made c-notches. My build thread has been updated w/some pics too.

Thanks. I'm likely going w/the Summit brand just trying to determine exactly how they look/fit. Is that p/n w/the internal trans cooler?

Yes and the price when I bought it was $211.95

**Chevy Fleetside** · 04-04-2010, 11:10 AM

This is my mock up of the Summit Radiator.

It looks like you just welded in that upper radiator 'retaining' plate? If that's correct, how does the radiator slip into place & stay secure?

ruffrida2005 · 04-04-2010, 02:55 PM

Scoti It looks like it's the the ends of the radiator that's welded and not the plate. I like his idea, just courise as to how he's going to retain it.

protrash64 · 04-04-2010, 03:15 PM

Looks like it will bolt in and hold the radiator in place. That's clean Fleetside

......me likey!!!

**Chevy Fleetside** · 04-04-2010, 05:53 PM

I drilled holes in the holder and the side covers hold it in place. The truck is apart so I really can't take any pictures of it at this time. I was going to drill some small holes on the back side of the radiator bracket and put some small screws in the backside to hold it to the hold down. I also removed the lower mount brackets and used long bolts so I could move the radiator up. I might have something bent for the lower also. It i all up in the air. I have since painted the hold down but some dirt got in it. Still dosn't look to bad. Either that or have a Stainless one bent up. The one in the picture cost me $7 at the heating and air place and a stainless one is about $21. I think this pictures shows the back lip on the radiator.

What kind of scoops are those? Grille looks cool.

BR3W CITY · 04-05-2010, 10:47 AM

This weekend I did my seasonal oil change and battery charge. Changed the trans pan gasket and gave it new fluid. Cut and mocked up my lf patch panel and did a little dent repair.

Short Circuit · 04-05-2010, 01:32 PM

This weekend I drove mine to town and got a truck load of mulch. I got home with it and the nephew came over to help me shovel it out. Spent most of the rest of the day getting on his @$$ for being too rough on the bed floor with a rake.

The load of mulch mad the back end of my truck set even with the front....I kinda liked it...made the wheels in my head start turning.
