Re: radiator coolant overflow container placement

Don't have pics in the computer but I also used a w/s washer jug and bracket for an overflow. Mounted it on the right side fender just aft of the battery. Could not put it on the left side because that area holds a later model plastic "Tool Box" from the 95-2000 style trucks. That comes in VERY handy for oil check rag, spare fan belt, qt. of oil, couple wrenches.

Be advised if you add a overflow jug be sure you change your radiator cap to the recovery / closed system style cap. Normal cap will not allow the radiator fluid to flow back and forth. Without the closed cap it will just be a catch/puke bottle.
