Re: '52 GMC custom/S-10 swap
Are you still out there?!?

Got the bumper you sent and spent the weekend building mounts and putting it on the rear of my son's 54. Looks great! Blissfield or Bust! Yep, it made it here AND on to his truck. Picks to follow.

It's coming along nice.

Did you ever decide on a radiator?

Here's one for a 67 Mustang with trans cooler that will work, and it's cheap (free shipping too)....

Since it has to sit high, not that big of a issue to reroute the upper hose. Just have to have a straight thermostat housing. Here's one in a AD truck (not my truck)

Re: '52 GMC custom/S-10 swap
thanks wideside72,..i really haven't had a lot of time to work on it + the fact i made all my own mounts (cheap but the hard way to do it) and i had to do all the work my self, but i'm happy where i am. i wanted to use the kit that you got but i didn't want my truck to sit so high up, all i have to do is put 3'' lowering blocks in the rear and i'm right where i want to be. can't wait to see how your kit turns out!
