Going back to when you first posted pictures of your truck. I noticed that it had the smaller 230/250 radiator mounted in the forward position where the larger 292/ v8 radiator should set. Is your truck still set up this way? If so that may be part of the overheating problem. The 230/250 radiator is narrower and it is more than likely letting air flow around the outside of the radiator than through it. What do the rest of you guys think?
