Steering Colmn:

Harness:
What complete harness for the dash do you recommend?

Radiator:
I have in my other cars BeCool and really like the quality they built, what is an alternative for a radiator with transmission cooler built in?

Gauges:
I found some dash gauges kits at bay... is there any other place to buy from or any other ideas?

You can make that dash for a heck of a lot less. There is nothing to it, just get a set of gauges, make a plate for mounting and be done. There are lots of great dash builds on here.

I am using my stock gauges with a white face kit and some custom vinyl lettering. For wiring, I am using a universal 21 circuit kit with mini fuse box.

I don't know your time frames, but avoid buying anything your not going to install right away. I have lost money a number of times because I bought a bunch of parts to either save shipping or to get the parts while I have the money and then in as little as 3 monthsi can't send back a bad or non fitting part. I have items I can't use from CPP (sent wrong pitman arm), MAR-K (damaged), and Tuckers (don't even want to talk about that mess). I didn't answer any of you questions, did I.

We have a two year return policy on unused parts. We realize that stuff happens in peoples lives. We have even traded in parts that were painted if they were purchased from us and the customer upgraded. Not at full price but at least they get most back. We don't pay the shipping back but will refund or credit depending on customer wants.

Ididit not Flaming, you have the right part. Becool had one good but not worth their price. For the price of some of their radiators you can buy so many other parts and still get a great radiator. Becool in Germany or Switzerland- overkill, I live in central Arizona, Google it, gets much hotter here - radiators we know. Gauges so many... If you would like an American iconic look try Mooneyes or So-cal both have their own name brand guages. Tschüs
