Re: 1957 Chevy 3100 build. "Clem"
I'll get some, but it may be tomorrow. It was pretty easy. It was a junkyard pull for $40. It fit really well. I bolted the top to the factory radiator core support and welded a bracket underneath to hold it up, mounted on rubber. I think the Dakota was a 1993, and after looking at several, I'm pretty sure the v6 and v8 Dakota radiators are the same. And it had an internal transmission cooler, which was a bonus. It had the older style larger hoses and my LT1 has small hoses. That made it tricky to hook up. I made Frankenstein hoses with large and small ends. I used 4 hoses cut and mended together. The transmission cooler lines threaded right in. And I used the Dakota coolant over flow bottle.
