Mike where did you get your fan and shroud from?

kalab , the wife ain't likin the idea of getting rid of the orange truck. the fan shroud is something i had fabbed up to fit the alumimum rad. it's basiclly a box 3/4" deep that fits the core i left a 1/2" flange at the top and bottom to attach the bottom to the core support and the top to the cap piece, sorry i don't have any pic prior to the install.

MrShelly , the wood really isn"t wood , it is that composite decking material sold by LOWES it looks like wood and cuts like wood , it also comes in different colors and the color go all the way through the board . the boards i used were 9 1/2" wide and 3/4" thick, i cut them to width. this is something that can done on any truck. and it won't rot , crack or warp.

[djracer]

Yep Mike did the glass work! It has a matching amp on each side! One 4 channel on the highes and one on the single 12 in the console fired down! I haven't heard it yet but it should be pretty sweet!

[nuke1]
