After. Got rid of a cool period correct but cumbersome fan shroud. We'll see how that little fan works in Houston traffic. I might have to go to a bigger unit with a built-in shroud.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Been working on my truck more the last couple of weeks. Tired of talking about it. Front half of frame is clean and coated in POR. Almost finished with putting new bushings under the cab. My friend sprayed color and matte clear on the motor and transmission yesterday evening. Next step is to move the crossmember forward to center the front wheels then fabricate the mount for rack and pinion. After that, put in the motor/trans and start wiring. I ordered the harness from PSI yesterday, can't wait to get it !

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
