Softpatch, bought the radiator from tomsclassic on eBay. I made the shroud/fan mounting and bought the 16 electric fan from the local auto parts store.

Ahhh, Softpatch beat me to it. I was going to ask the same thing about where the radiator came from? I like the top tank being a duplicate of the factory one.

Does it cool well? Are you happy with the quality of it?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Radiator is well made and looks good, no ugly welds or seams. I am using a 160 degree thermostat and the temp so far never goes above about 165! Being aluminum you do need to be careful of the fins when installing.

I sold my axle with CPP disk brakes and power steering setup, including the springs, and everything that was part of my front suspension. I had $1k in the upgrades, got $340 for the whole thing and was happy to get it out of my way.
