Thanks! It has been a long month getting to drive to the show. I was able to drive it to registration on Thursday night. Friday i started driving to the show and the fan broke and took out the radiator. I was a little pissed on Friday morning. So we drove to the show and walked in and bought a new radiator and fan. Thew it in Friday night and drove to the show Saturday and Sunday.

Thanks. I'm burned out now I worked about a month straight after work M-F and all day Sat. and Sun. I may take a couple of weeks off then get back on it in my free time.

I will be posting pic of my truck at the show this weekend. I didn't have any on my camera they are on my dads camera.

I will also need to work on a nursery since we are having our first kid

and we found out it is a boy.

Here are a few shots of my truck at the show and the radiator and fan that killed the radiator.

Kim57 · 06-27-2012, 10:30 AM

Thanks Kim. Yeah i didn't like the fit of that radiator. I like the new one better. it is only a 2 core but it keeps it cooler then the 3 core did.

I got a chrome grill off CL for half price in perfect condition and just order gauges for the truck so this year it will be street legal when I'm driving

and I won't run out of gas again

oldcouple · 12-11-2012, 12:14 PM

Good score on the grill, you may want to throw a coat of ruststop on the back side, they tend to rust up and then it reflects in the cross bars. Never showed on the painted ones.

Thanks for the heads up!

Kim57 · 12-11-2012, 01:06 PM

Nice looking grill and gauges.
Kim

jimig1 · 05-14-2013, 08:33 AM

I got my gauges installed last week along with the ignition switch, cigarette lighter, and horn button. The gauges were and easy install. Next up is getting the bed sandblasted as long as the weather cooperates.

Kim57 · 05-14-2013, 09:20 AM

Nice gauge cluster.
Kim

dubie · 05-14-2013, 11:29 AM

jimig1 · 07-03-2013, 10:43 PM

Got my bed together and some new wheels rubber is on it way

Kim57 · 07-04-2013, 01:57 AM

Those are nice.
Kim

jimig1 · 07-08-2013, 09:45 AM

Well I got the rubber mounted and not 100% sure about the fronts I'll need to get it pulled out and see but I had to replace a couple of lug studs and of course the parts store was out of stock.

Kim57 · 07-08-2013, 03:45 PM
