Ok everyone, i am looking for suggestions for Aluminum Radiator with Electric Fan/Shroud. Please give input. I find them from stock looking replacements to really wide ones. not sure what is best, easy, yada yada... 3 - Row, 4 - Row, 1 large fan, 2 smaller fans.... damn help someone please..

88Stanger · 01-04-2021, 09:48 PM

I am currently looking at a 4-row with electric fan and shroud by Alloyworks.

88Stanger · 01-04-2021, 10:04 PM

Well now looking at reviews.... maybe we do Cold Case radiator?

I used RND fabrication...made in the US and are a sponsor. I use a Derale electric fans...2000 CFM...one for cooling one when the A/C kicks on. I think one fan would have been enough...but 2 is more better right? LOL

Sorry for my confusion, but when you say sponsor, you mean a sponsor here on the site? Did you buy the rad. with fans or without?

Yes, sorry for the confusion...site sponsor. I bought it with a single fan, but I took my truck to have my A/C finished/charged and they said they recommended a second fan dedicated for the compressor. So I put a new shroud and fan on the radiator (Derale). In hindsight, I don't think I needed it. So now I have an extra fan...ugh! This was before the new fan/shroud with single fan. I don't have a picture yet of the new fans.

www.rndfabrication.com or here for the vendor thread

88Stanger · 01-06-2021, 10:48 AM

So i bought a full set of gauges from Boese engineering. They look great, price was good, but the gas guage is for 0-30ohm = "65 and before, and my new tank and sending unit are 0-90ohm, so hopefully they have an exchange process. Otherwise they are a great company to work with from what i have found and the product is good

88Stanger · 01-06-2021, 10:50 AM

See pic

88Stanger · 01-06-2021, 01:27 PM

Just ordered Vintage Air full kit with Rotary dials from MCB Matt a sponsor on here. Great people to work with, got a discount, pleasure to work with. Kim was whom i was working with. They offer alot of items for our C10's at good prices from what i can see, Plus they are sponsor on here.

88Stanger · 01-06-2021, 06:27 PM

So I was able to get ahold of Boese Engineering, they will take back in trade the gauge for the correct one, I pay for Shipping, which I understand. So that is nice to know that they are very willing to help.

I'm half way through, looking great!

Thank you sir. It has been an adventure, but a fun one mostly, lol. I have done a "69 ground up resto to LS, but nothing like this one. I used that one to learn for this one! I may be a bit slow, but i am in no real hurry, well wait, i wasn't due to this little Covid bastard, but now that i got through that, i want to get back into some shows and fun, so my motivation is really picking up. More is coming.

88Stanger · 01-09-2021, 01:12 PM

Well i will say this, if you think that its a good idea putting together an Excel spreadsheet with all your parts you have purchased and for how much on it, then what you need to order.... Lets just say.... if you do DO NOT RUN A TOTAL!! LOL DAAAMMMMNNNNNNNN that hurts... lol Oh well, it is a great time... and i hate to think of what i could have spent those two dollars on.... LOL
