Welded my other stake pocket on. Cut a big ass hole in my frame. I don't have my bags yet so I was just going by the picture.:uhmk:

Looks good, what did you use to cut it with?

grinder w/cut off wheel.

That was easy to do when my plasma cutter worked. :uhmk:

I think I'll wait till I pick up my buddy's plasma.

Re: Daverods 52
 
Was really easy. Just cut it on the side of the frame on the outside. Do a few pie cuts on the inside and hit it with the grinding wheel. Took about 30 min.

one minute your all oh no you don't need a plasma then the next your all the plasma's the $hit.:lol: Just messin. Did my other hole it only took about 15 min. Still need to figure out where to mount my engine. I bought the s10 v8 mounts but now I don't think I can use them.:waah: Guys bringing me some s10 15" rims just so I can wheel it around. Just thinking about rear ends? Hit ctrl,alt,delete at the same time the fuzzy part goes away.:lol::lol::lol:

Re: Daverods 52
 
I didn't say Plasma Cutters are $hit. Just mine was when it blew up. :devil::cuss:

Re: Daverods 52
 
I think I'll use the plasma since I cant turn my frame over like yours Dave.

And is that the dude from Gold Rush? My 2y/o was watching it with me and said Not Nice.

I was just thinking what a pain it would be if I was laying on my back.:devil: Who says you can't tip it on its side. Whats a two year old know about whats nice. I thought it was verrry nice.:lol::lol: You need to educate that kid.;) You know your in a good bar when it has chicken wire. Reminds me of my days in the Navy.:smoke: The good old days. When I did'nt have to work or worry about makin the house payment. When gas was a buck. 1980

In 1980 I was still swimmin around looking for a out. But I do remember gas being less then a buck about 15 years ago.

:waah:Gave up waiting for my bags thought I would put my cab on and do my radiator stuff.:uhmk: When you use the s10 frame the radiator hits the gear box so you have to mod the bracket that holds it and use a different radiator. Not sure which radiator I'm going to use? Also had to trim my inner fenders to clear some stuff. Not sure if I cut them enough. I guess I'll find out when I get my bags on. Figured out stock s10 rim don't fit with my spindles for some reason. I guess I need more of an offset. Good enough for now they just don't go on all the way.

I found this radiator. Its the right size but it says engine oil cooler. Could this also be used as a trans'mission cooler?

Re: Daverods 52
 
Yes you can.

That's how mine was hooked up in my 64.

Re: Daverods 52
 
ekstensive aka "brothers":lol: They said I could have it cheap not fast. I should have had my bags by now though. I guess they are going to ship it all together. Not as if I don't have stuff to work on. Need to get my engine so I can see how to mount it. I'm thinking I'll be cutting my floor boards. The Iron Duke.:rolleyes: Least it has a name, maybe someday it will have a thread.
