The Auxiliary cooler/Fan is now mounted and installed just waiting for the AN lines to show up!

In case you are wondering why this Auxiliary cooler is down low and basically behind the front bumper, I DO NOT have any room in front of the radiator. Since this is a 1973, it has a very DEEP GMC grill.

I had previously installed the 75-76 GMC grill, and really like it better than the 73 grill. Now that I am installing the GM remote hood release (1977 year) on this truck, it doesn't PLAY well with my 75-76 grill, or a 73. The 1977 GMC grill is very SHALLOW and the center radiator support sticks much further out than the 73 Radiator Center Support.

But I think I will get it all to work together with my 75-76 grill (without hacking up the grill-or the supports for the front of the Radiator support). I am trying to get it to look as close as possible to being built by the factory.
