Re: Build that 71 402 already
Thank you.
Yeah the OEM bumpers are being replated. Some places in Ca. still do triple plating, apparently. Place is called Moreno's Chrome. I hauled them to Fresno last week.
I may run with the 3/4" white wall instead of the 3/8". I was looking at Coker tires, but it would seem they're no longer built well. Folks seem real happy with Diamond Backs.
First radiator from Summit had bad transmission fittings, and really wasn't worth a dang to begin with. I never should have installed it. Second from Speedway was full of loose welds, I only installed it temporarily to run new transmission lines. 3rd came from US Radiator, it leaked. 4th from them has the filler in the wrong spot, they're sending another. US Radiators are heavy, look, and generally fit like OEM.

Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
