Ogre asked for my 1993 Dodge Dakota radiator install pics. I apologize I haven't taken them sooner. My dad and I have been sanding and prepping for a repaint. Although the paint looks nice in pictures it had many small flaws. I wanted to keep from a complete paint job but it needed to be done. I hate bodywork. We are making a lot of progress though. It will be 80 degrees with no humidity on Friday. We would like to shoot primer then if we can make it. For a 1957 truck there is very little filler and no rust. We flattened some dents in the bed. And one tiny hood dent. That's it for the repairs. I'll take some more photos after primer. Right now it isn't very flattering. But here are the radiator install pics. Sorry about the sanding dust.The radiator is mounted to the factory support with bolts and rubber bushings. Underneath I made a bracket that the rubber plugs on the radiator bottom go into, and the bracket is bolted to the boxed in frame rails. In case I ever need to remove it. The radiator had an internal transmission cooler which is a bonus and cost $40 at the local junkyard. It was about the perfect size. More updates soon. Jason
